OMAHA, Neb. (July 20, 2021) – Nearly 70 percent of blind Americans are unemployed. Two organizations want to lower this statistic by joining forces and letting their complimentary missions work together.

Midlands firms are using technology in new ways or leveraging new tech solutions to support positive change within workforces and communities.

OMAHA, Neb. (March 24, 2020) – Outlook Business Solutions recently appointed Diana Criser to its new Accessibility Advisory Council for its digital accessibility testing service offering, Ally Support. The social enterprise also provides marketing and customer care services to organizations as well as employment to professionals with vision loss. 

As Natalie Hadly, Vice President of Outlook Business Solutions states, “Every business can minimize legal risk and expand market reach by implementing best practices around accessibility,” One in four Americans are currently living with a disability, and for companies without an accessible website, they are missing an entire “hidden market” out there. 

The region’s largest employer of the blind has teamed up with the Sarpy County Chamber of Commerce to improve digital accessibility. While handrails, sidewalk ramps, automatic doors and designated parking spaces might come to mind when people think about accessibility for disabled persons, the digital realm can have numerous obstacles for people with partial or total blindness.  Learn how Outlook Business Solutions’ Greg Rogers explains the importance of our work. 

“The chamber is excited that Outlook Business Solutions can help us add information about the importance of accessible digital content to our video resources for members,” said Brian White, groups and engagement manager for the Sarpy County Chamber. “We want to help our businesses thrive by making their digital assets – like their website or app – available to any customer.”
