Implementing ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) strategies is essential for several reasons:

​

Legal Compliance: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is the most comprehensive Civil Rights Law enacted in the United States. Ensuring ADA compliance helps your business avoid complaints with legal inquiries from the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Transportation, and potential lengthy and costly litigation.
 
People Awareness/ Attracting and Retaining Talent: You can possibly jeopardize maintaining the best business model and talented people if you do not comply with the ADA. An accessible work environment opens your business to attract the best candidates, contractors, customers, and partners and retain the talent you have attracted. An accessible work environment sends a positive message to everyone who encounters your business.
 
Enhancing Reputation: Demonstrating a commitment to accessibility and inclusivity enhances your company's reputation. It shows that you value diversity and are dedicated to serving all members of your community.
 
Improving Customer Engagement: Accessible facilities, websites, and services make it easier for individuals with disabilities to engage with your company. Accessibility improves overall customer satisfaction and loyalty. The U.S. Census Bureau data from 2021 indicates that there are approximately 42.5M (million) people with disabilities living in the United States. This number does not include those visiting the U.S. for business.

​

Fostering Innovation: ADA compliance often requires creative and inclusive design, problem-solving, and innovation. By implementing ADA strategies, your company can foster a culture of innovation and adaptability.
