Why disability awareness for customer service?

A growing number of Canadians – 27%- identify as having a disability but many people with a disability are consistently overlooked by businesses who end up passing on this underserved consumer group.

As businesses compete for market share and respond to the increased social and legal requirements to better serve equity seeking groups, customer service teams need knowledge and tools to attract and retain consumers.

Simple, flexible pricing for
teams of all sizes.

How is ReThink Ability different than training that accompanies provincial and national accessibility legislation?

Government regulations are essential to the identification, removal, and prevention of barriers. While training related to legislation supports accessibility standards and compliance, ReThink Ability focuses on the impact of disability on a person’s life and the importance of equal opportunity. It provides practical information on improving interactions, communication, and attitudes so everyone can live the life they choose.
