Inside the Numbers: How Accommodate Provides Lasting Value

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 19.1% of the employment population in 2018 had a disability of some kind, a number that has slightly increased in recent years. With more than 2.1 million employees, the federal government likely has around 400,000 employees that may need special accommodations to do their job. 

Managing these accommodations represents a challenge for human resources offices that want to provide employees with the special tools they need to do their job, but have become overwhelmed with requests. To ensure that agencies can properly manage and fulfill employee needs, human resource officers will want to leverage Accommodate by Symplicity.

Let’s look at some of the key numbers that show the value Accommodate can bring federal agencies:

• Accommodate customers saw a 25% ROI over 3 years. Employees were able to save 2 hours per week on inter-departmental communications and process requests 5 times faster than without a database.
• Customers were able to increase engagement 65% within the first 12 months of using our system, and saw a 35% decrease in paper and print materials. They also saw a 50% decrease of in-office traffic, as those requesting accommodations were serviced faster.
• Most importantly, though, data analytics and reports were processed 90% faster than reporting without a database.

Symplicity has worked with customers including Fortune 500 companies, higher education institutions and government organizations to improve how they provide accommodations to employees. These numbers come from our more than two decades in business. Our system not only helps ensure that employees with disabilities get the accommodations they need in a timely manner, but the people in charge of providing these accommodations can do so as efficiently as possible.
