Inclusive language and accessible design are closely connected. Here’s how.

The ways we communicate with employees can build bridges and foster understanding when done right. On the other hand, if done incorrectly, they have the capability to alienate and cause harm.

Inclusive language and accessible design acknowledge the full range of human diversity with respect to ability, gender identity, language, race, socioeconomic status, and other characteristics. Implementing these principles help people who have been historically marginalized feel included and can make a difference in creating a truly equitable workplace.
