Targeted Deaf Awareness Training For Businesses
This month I had the pleasure of chatting to Lee Randall-Pybus, one of the Directors of Your Partnerships Ltd which is a global business networking company helping to bring businesses together to form important relationships and collaborations.
As a qualified deaf awareness and British sign language trainer for businesses we talked out how 1 in 6 people suffer from some form of hearing loss so it is more important than ever for businesses to be able and ready to accommodate staff and connections that fall into this category.
For employers Deaf Awareness training can help with making decisions on reasonable adjustments for Deaf employees, as required under the Equality Act 2010. It can also help to facilitate effective communication between Deaf/hard of hearing and hearing employees.
Whether you have a Deaf employee, and want to facilitate equality of access within your team, or you possibly just want to raise the awareness of frontline staff on the communication needs of Deaf customers then Deaf awareness training can help you.
