As we observe Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM), SkyVenn reaffirms its commitment to fostering a workplace that is inclusive, accessible, and supportive of individuals with disabilities. In alignment with our core values of diversity and equity, we recognize the importance of creating an environment where all employees can thrive, regardless of their abilities.

1. Embedding Disability Inclusion in the Hiring Process
   The first step towards building a more inclusive workplace is to embed disability inclusion in our hiring practices. By removing barriers and fostering accessibility from the outset, we pave the way for diverse talent to join our team. Here are some strategies to consider:
   * Creating Accessible Job Postings: Ensure that job descriptions are written in plain language, free from jargon, and compatible with assistive technologies.
   * Conducting Inclusive Interview Processes: Offer flexible interview formats and provide training to interviewers on inclusive techniques.
   * Educating Hiring Teams: Equip hiring teams with knowledge about different types of disabilities, reasonable accommodations, and legal requirements.
   * Providing Tools and Resources: Invest in accessibility training, assistive technologies, and platforms like Inclusively to support candidates with disabilities.
2. Supporting Employees with Disabilities Throughout Their Careers
   Beyond the hiring process, it’s essential to support employees with disabilities throughout their career journeys. By offering mentorship, training, and accessible skill-building opportunities, we empower all employees to reach their full potential. Establishing Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) further fosters a sense of belonging and inclusion within our organization.
3. Including Employees with Disabilities in Business Strategies
   Diversity drives innovation, and employees with disabilities bring unique perspectives and problem-solving approaches to the table. By including them in our business strategies from the outset, we not only enhance our products and services but also better understand and serve diverse market segments. Accountability is key to our efforts, and we remain committed to tracking our progress and ensuring that our actions align with our values.
