Creating workspaces to the needs of employees is one of the strongest arguments that we can use to encourage people to work from the office in a hybrid system, and at the same time give them a guarantee of full comfort and efficiency when performing their tasks.

What is more, 70% of this group declare that still there is a need of trainings in the workplace for all employees in the context of inclusiveness, however they feel their organization provides adequate training around disability etiquette education. People living with a disability are representing 15% of the global population. It is a big community, and ¾ of respondents say that accessibility and inclusivity benefits are a deciding factor in evaluating a job opportunity. This proved especially true for millennials, with 80% saying these benefits are a key decision point[1]. Inclusiveness is not only a trend, but a real need for a large part of office workers. HushAcces.L is the answer to this need. In hybrid world office is also a place of socialization, where we can fulfill both our professional and social needs. According to the JLL report “Shaping the future of work: Four foundational truths”, as many as 73% of respondents declare their willingness to return to the office, where they will be able to make social contacts. Providing an office space that meets these needs for all employees, regardless of their limitations, is also extremely important. According again to the Adobe study, among the general population, regardless of disability status, 84% feel that their coworkers would benefit from workplace accessibility. HushAccess.L has been designed for people with motor disabilities, but the benefit of having these cabins in the office will be felt by everyone – both employees and the employer.
