Access Warrior – Breaking Down Barriers Together!

In August 2021, Happy Factory became only the 5th company or organisation to come on board and join our Accessible Cities South Africa platform and the first new company to join our Accessible Cities South Africa platform to come on board and join our Accessible Cities South Africa platform, thereby setting a trend for other companies to work with us to promote accessibility and inclusivity in South Africa.

For companies seeking to employ talent, our role is to assist you in creating an accessible work environment that provides equal opportunities for employment of people with a disability. In a nutshell, we represent both job seekers with a disability, and assist companies with including and developing people with a disability by creating a disability inclusive environment.

   Disability Awareness & Inclusion Training – Reasonable Accommodation – Workplace

Disability awareness and workplace inclusion programs make employees feel safe disclosing their disabilities and support the inclusion of people with disabilities in society and the workplace. The goal of the program is to provide employers and employees with the skills and knowledge needed to understand what a disability means in the workplace, how to make reasonable accommodations, how to disclose disabilities, and how to interact with people with disabilities with confidence. This short, concise workshop helps participants better understand and deal sensitively and practically with the variety of disabilities they may encounter; helps them overcome the natural fears we have when interacting with a disabled person; and provides tips on awareness and etiquette in these situations. The training defines and describes the term “disability,” dispels many myths associated with disabilities, provides a list of rules of conduct, and addresses disability language.

   Innovation Programs

Communicating the right messaging on Disability as a form of Diversity, and its value to business and society, is a key success factor in promoting Inclusion and building a culture of respect. The aim of any Disability Communications Campaign is to ‘normalise’ disability, shift perceptions which form barriers to inclusion, and create a culture of trust in which employees feel confident to disclose a disability in order equalize opportunities for success. Paramount to the success of changing perceptions around disability is the use of the correct ‘language’ and messaging content. This campaign includes a brand/logo design and 5 digital communications including context and design work.

   Current & Future Plans

Disability Rights Awareness Month is observed from 3 November to 3 December, culminating in National Disability Rights Awareness Day, but DiSA believes awareness and action must extend beyond a single month.

As a free, leading disability information portal, DiSA actively promotes year-round awareness through initiatives such as the launch of the Accessible Cities South African Platform and its partnership with Happy Factory in August 2021. Through this collaboration, DiSA commits to promoting inclusive practices, highlighting the benefits of employing persons with disabilities, and supporting organisations to create accessible environments that enable success for individuals, businesses, and communities alike.

True accessibility goes far beyond physical features like ramps; it encompasses access to environments, information, products, and services, requiring collective effort from all stakeholders to drive meaningful and lasting change.
