Use these 5 easy tips for inclusive workplaces today!

1. Create Quiet Spaces: Offer noise-free zones or private work areas for employees who need a low-stimulation environment to focus.

2. Adjust Lighting Options: Provide soft, natural lighting or adjustable desk lamps to reduce sensory overload from harsh fluorescent lights.

3. Minimize Visual Clutter: Keep workspaces organized and avoid overwhelming decorations, flashing screens, or too much movement in the employee’s line of sight.

4. Allow Flexible Seating and Workstations: Give employees the choice to work in a standing desk area, a quiet corner, or a collaborative space, depending on their comfort.

5. Provide Sensory-Friendly Tools: Noise-canceling headphones, fidget tools, or textured keyboards can help employees stay comfortable and engaged.

Inclusive tools and strategies don’t have to cost money! Many can be easily implemented at little to no cost to employers.
