The immense challenge of DE&I is that those who are committed to it find that they consistently need to push it to the front of the priorities facing company leaders, managers and teams. Keeping DE&I top of mind and a top priority is critical. http://www.visionmonday.com/insights/article/diversity-equity-and-inclusion-needs-a-consistent-commitment/ Transforming Access and Opportunities to Serve Low Vision Patients http://www.visionmonday.com/insights/article/transforming-access-and-opportunities-to-serve-low-vision-patients/ Mon, 30 Oct 2023 02:00:00 -0400 Modern technologies, combined with new societal attitudes towards inclusion and access to care, are helping to advance the scope of products and services for those who are vision-impaired. http://www.visionmonday.com/insights/article/transforming-access-and-opportunities-to-serve-low-vision-patients/ ‘Resilience’ Is the Word of the Year http://www.visionmonday.com/insights/article/resilience-is-the-word-of-the-year/ Sun, 03 Sep 2023 02:00:00 -0400 It’s September and, for many folks, it’s when the year ‘begins’ again.
