2axend’s Client Work in Logistics

One of the largest manufacturers of home care products in the U.S. partnered with 2axend to improve internal accessibility for Deaf and hard of hearing employees and customers. Through a company-wide virtual training session, we shared best practices geared to improve the employee experience for Deaf and hard of hearing individuals across all organizational touchpoints. Following our training, the company saw an increase in workplace safety and productivity through voluntary self-disclosure and accommodation requests. This resulted in a more inclusive workplace, one that reinforced the company’s commitment to equitable experiences for all.

A leading office supply retailer faced ADA compliance concerns at one of its largest warehouses, prompting employee complaints and operational risks. To address these challenges, 2axend conducted employee interviews, performed compliance assessments, and identified key areas for improvement. Our tailored recommendations enhanced communication access and warehouse safety protocols, leading to a significant reduction in ADA-related complaints, improved employee satisfaction, and a strengthened talent pipeline for Deaf and hard of hearing individuals.
