This study explores the elements that contribute to a successful work experience for employees who are blind or visually impaired from the employer's perspective. Twenty-two employers from eleven states around the United States, in for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, who employed or supervised at least one employee who is visually impaired, were interviewed about the factors that contribute to success in their workplace. Participants were recruited through the American Foundation for the Blind by asking employee mentors who are visually impaired to enlist their employers.

520 $a This study explores the elements that contribute to a successful work experience for employees who are blind or visually impaired from the employer's perspective. Twenty-two employers from eleven states around the United States, in for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, who employed or supervised at least one employee who is visually impaired, were interviewed about the factors that contribute to success in their workplace. Participants were recruited through the American Foundation for the Blind by asking employee mentors who are visually impaired to enlist their employers.
520 $a Employers emphasized the dual responsibility that employees have to empower their own success and that employers have to enable the success of the employee who is visually impaired. An integrative model was proposed using conceptual frameworks developed from the interviews with employers. The employer's role is to promulgate core values from the top down, fill the toolbox of the employee and to provide accessibility and accommodation. Employers should maintain a good attitude, use words that speak louder than actions and expect the same performance from employees who are visually impaired. Employees empower their own success when they recognize that their own comfort is contagious and they maintain their blindness competencies. Employees who are visually impaired must be ambassadors for blindness every day, should maintain a positive attitude along with work etiquette, and should insist on being held to the same performance standard as other employees. This study is important because it examines the way corporate culture can impact success and recognizes the dual responsibility that employers and employees have in maintaining a successful work environment.
