Best practices
Tips for an Exceptionally Inclusive Corporate Workspace
Consider these tips to ensure an accessible and inclusive business event:
- 1
Proactive Scheduling
Request accessibility services as soon as you schedule a business meeting to ensure the right professional is available to meet your ADA requirements. For larger events with unknown accessibility needs, opt to provide accessibility services for general access.
- 2
Venue Logistics
Expect interpreters to arrive 10-20 minutes early and ensure parking and security clearances for hassle-free entry. For large venues, collaborate with Deaf or hard-of-hearing attendees to optimize seating and interpreter placement.
- 3
Content Preparation
Share presentation materials, speeches, PowerPoints, or videos with your accessibility service coordinator early to ensure interpreters and captioners are well-prepared and familiar with your content.
- 4
Enhance Visibility
Place interpreters close to primary speakers and ensure visibility of all participants. Avoid backlighting with windows or lamps for sign language interpreters. Utilize integrated video captions for any videos that are part of your presentation. If captions are unavailable, inform interpreters in advance and maintain their visibility in any dim lighting.
- 5
Clear Communication
Promote single-threaded conversations, asking attendees to speak clearly and one at a time. Relay comments and identify speakers when a participant speaks out of a Deaf or hard-of-hearing attendee's view. There is a slight delay associated with interpretation and captioning so allow a pause for participants to take notes, reference materials, or shift their attention.
- 6
Direct Interaction
Address Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and non-English speaking attendees directly, looking at them instead of the interpreter during conversations. Respect the interpreter's schedule and communicate any necessary extensions to your accessibility coordinator promptly.
Following these guidelines will help to create an inclusive experience for all attendees.
