Employee Support

AVID@ML: Supporting Employees with Disabilities

The Awareness of Visible & Invisible Disabilities (AVID@ML) Employee Resource Community provides a space for employees to share experiences, raise awareness, and advocate for accessibility. It also advises senior leadership on policies that foster an inclusive and supportive workplace. BFW Publishers embraces a broad definition of disability, recognizing individuals who face barriers due to physical, mental, neurological, or other conditions. Through education initiatives, AVID@ML helps empower employees and strengthen accessibility efforts.

Leadership Commitment to Inclusion

A dedicated cross-functional leadership group ensures accessibility and inclusion are embedded into company strategies. This group works closely with business leaders to align policies and practices that support a more equitable and accessible work environment.

By prioritizing accessibility at every level, BFW Publishers is creating a workplace and learning environment where everyone can thrive.
