Regulations and Equality Legislation , they should also prioritize making modern offices vibrant and welcoming spaces for everyone .
The origin of the concept for the walk-through guide from entry to exit Diamond Interiors is aware that when it comes to everyday participation in life , those with disabilities face huge obstacles , especially in the workplace , preventing a large proportion of talented individuals from obtaining employment . They believe it is important for all workplaces to meet the different needs and requirements of all people . As office design specialists , this is something they prioritise whenever working on a new project — to make sure it is fit for everyone !
The guide provides support for persons with disabilities The guide helps those with disabilities to become aware of the provisions that should be applied into their workplace for them . Some people may be accustomed to adapting to challenging workplaces and may be made to feel that it is up to them to surpass these barriers , however , the guide may give them insight into what adaptations should be made , and how their workspaces can be adjusted .
The guide can help businesses The guide was designed to put readers in the position of someone who lives with a disability , so they can better understand the challenges this demographic faces from entry , all the way through to the exit . Many individuals aren ’ t sure of what accessibility means and beyond this , senior leadership may not be convinced of the benefits of adopting accessibility . Therefore , the main goal of this guide is to get decision makers to identify then understand the urgency for significant changes to be made to workplaces .
