Better workplace communication starts with small changes.

You don't need a big budget to make your meetings more accessible. Simple shifts, like facing the person when you speak or sharing agendas early, can transform how Deaf and disabled colleagues experience your workplace.

Here are 5 no-cost communication fixes you can implement today:

1️⃣ Face the person when speaking
2️⃣ One speaker at a time
3️⃣ Share the agenda early
4️⃣ Use live captions (free tools available)
5️⃣ Confirm understanding before moving on

These aren't just good practice. They're essential for inclusion, and they cost nothing.

Want tailored support for your team? Appa offers accessibility training, BSL interpreting, and in-work disability support across London and the UK.
