Real Access Motivates Progress CEO, president and founder
Making your business inclusive is not only the right thing to do for your staff and customers, it’s also sure to boost revenue.
With 55% of Rhode Islanders using mobility aids, inaccessible spaces miss half the population’s spending power. Simple modifications can make a significant difference. These can include:
•
Add a folding mobility ramp to your entrance.
•
Utilize Rhode Island’s Workplace Accessibility Grant Program. It provides a 100% reimbursement for eligible costs to improve workplace accessibility, up to $5,000 per calendar year. Rhode Island employers with fewer than 25 employees and who meet the eligibility requirements can apply through the Governor’s Workforce Board.
Even small tweaks open doors to:
•
An increased customer base.
•
An enhanced reputation for your business.
• A
n improved bottom line.
Inclusivity is good business. By making your space accessible, you:
•
Welcome 55% more potential customers.
•
Demonstrate commitment to diversity.
•
Enhance your community presence.
Don’t miss out on revenue. Take the first step toward accessibility and reap the benefits of a more-inclusive business model.
