Setting up a UbiDuo in the work site ensures that employees or managers who are deaf or hard of hearing are no longer deprived of the opportunity to talk with their co-workers. They can now share information at the water cooler!
The UbiDuo can be put to use in many different settings: job interviews, quick conversations with a supervisor, impromptu meetings and working groups where an interpreter cannot be arranged at short notice, or very short conversations.
We have received numerous reports from people who credit the UbiDuo for developing competency on the job through interaction with other people and even getting promotions.
UbiDuo Experiences
Peter Downey had been with Sam's Club in Overland Park, KS, for 13 years in the same position with no promotion opportunities. He felt he had to stay in the same job to be safe because he had no way of communicating with his hearing peers. Without the power of face-to-face communication, he was trapped and couldn't easily seek new job opportunities the way his hearing co-workers could.
In the past year since Sam's Club obtained an UbiDuo, his work environment changed dramatically. He was able to have conversations with co-workers, members, and managers.
Sharon Orlopp, vice president of People Division of Sam's Club, explains, "The biggest advantage is that it levels the playing field for communications. The UbiDuo literally opens doors for the deaf and hard of hearing community. Our biggest success story is Peter Downey, our employee in Overland Park, KS. Peter has been promoted several times since the UbiDuo came to his club. He is now a member of management."
Cindy Castegnaro uses the UbiDuo to communicate with co-workers at Three Rivers, an independent living center in Wamego, KS. "After using the UbiDuo in a group meeting, I feel that I know what is going on and happy that I am not missing out as I did before. It is easy to use and worth the price!"
