Creating an inclusive workplace starts with understanding how to provide effective accommodations for employees with disabilities.

Tools like the Job Accommodation Network (JAN), offering free, expert support to help businesses create workplaces that work for everyone.

These include credits like the Disabled Access Credit, the Work Opportunity Tax Credit, and deductions for barrier removal, helping offset the costs of improving accessibility and inclusion in the workplace.
