approachability
Easy to address
Approachability is the quality of being easy to talk to or deal with.
An approachable person seems friendly and open, not intimidating or standoffish: Her approachability made students comfortable asking questions.
The word applies equally to people, organizations, or even ideas—anything that doesn't put up barriers to engagement.
