Great question, Verónica, accessibility is something that should go beyond compliance and truly be part of organizational culture.

In many workplaces I’ve seen a clear shift toward better mobility accessibility. Practical things like wider walkways, step-free access, adjustable desks, and clear signage make a huge difference. Training frontline staff to support colleagues with mobility needs also helps create a more inclusive environment.
