Training employees and volunteers to interact respectfully and effectively with people of all abilities is a mandatory legal requirement in Ontario under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR). This training is required for all staff, whether or not they have direct public contact.
Our AODA & IASR eLearning Program is designed to:
Ensure your organization meets mandatory compliance requirements.
Teach employees and volunteers how to recognize and remove barriers.
Provide practical guidance for creating an inclusive and accessible workplace.
HR Proactive Inc. offers the AODA & IASR Accessibility Training in all versions of SCORM for upload into your LMS, or through our customizable white-labelled LMS. The platform allows you to include and manage your own workplace policies, creating a complete solution for accessibility compliance training.
To meet Ontario’s accessibility requirements, organizations must address both Customer Service Standards and the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulations (IASR). These two programs work together to help employees understand their responsibilities under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and to ensure businesses provide accessible, inclusive services and workplaces.
The Accessibility Standards for Customer Service program focuses on serving individuals with disabilities respectfully and effectively, while the IASR program covers the broader accessibility requirements across employment, information and communications, transportation, and other areas. Together, they provide a comprehensive approach to building an accessible workplace and meeting AODA compliance.
