An estimated 386 million<\/a> of the world\u2019s working-age people are living with a disability. This means that many are expected to travel to offices occasionally or even every day. These statistics illustrate a critical point for employers: To create a truly inclusive workplace, employees and visitors must have equal access to the spaces where business is done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Salesforce, we\u2019re working to build a world in which everyone has the same opportunities and access as people without disabilities. That\u2019s why our Accessibility Task Force recently launched the Real Estate Accessibility Awareness Project, designed to audit our existing accommodations and communicate accessibility information to visiting employees and guests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative not only benefits individuals with permanent disabilities but also those who experience temporary restrictions in their lives. This includes employees recovering from surgery to visitors still dealing with the effects of long-term COVID-19. It also helps everyone working or visiting the hubs know what to expect \u2014 and make the necessary accommodations in our workspaces so we can offer the most accessible experience possible.<\/p>\n\n\n
