There are numerous requirements that employers must comply with regarding policies and procedures, to ensure that their customer service operations are accessible to people with disabilities.

Clear Path can help you meet these requirements. Through developing company policies and training employees on servicing people with disabilities, we can ensure that you are contributing to an accessible Ontario.
