The business impact of accessibility and inclusion for Career Centers
So, how can you improve business as a Career Center owner or as an employee of an association considering one? Well firstly, if you pick us as your provider, we’ve made things a lot easier for you by making sure that your Career Center naturally has a good level of accessibility. Career Centers need to keep their services as open and inclusive as possible. Many candidates with a disability get left behind in the hiring process due to limitations. They often find that they can’t apply or register on sites, which is discriminatory and exclusive. Being inclusive can both attract and retain customers. As a business, you shouldn’t risk excluding customers by making access to content or services, exclusive.
The commercial case
Being inclusive isn’t just altruistic, it’s the commercially smart option. Most businesses want to attract and appeal to the widest possible market, so why reduce the share of that market through lack of consideration for everyone?
In 2021, the business case for web accessibility couldn’t be stronger. In 2020, Accenture found that the 45 companies it identified as leaders in areas specific to disability employment and inclusion had, on average, 28% higher revenue, double the net income, and 30% higher economic profit margins than their peers.
