By January 1, 2016, we will:
  • Make performance management accessible by providing feedback and coaching to our employees in a way that is accessible to them, such as using plain language for an employee who has a learning disability or making performance management documents available in accessible formats upon request.

Other

Rosa Flora will review all requests identified by the public, employees, and customers of Rosa Flora take steps to prevent and remove identified accessibility barriers as necessary.

Design of Public Spaces

Rosa Flora does not have public spaces as outlined by the Design of Public Spaces or self-serve kiosks and as a result these regulations from the Act do not apply.
