How to meet the accessibility needs of an increasingly diverse workforce​

It’s great to see employers embracing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.However, the gap between the intention of inclusion and its reality can be vast. Not being able to fully access internal tools and communications can be frustrating at best and excluding at worst – whether that’s being unable to tab through a purchasing system for employees who find using a mouse a challenge, to getting the right information from RAG status charts if you’re colour-blind, or viewing company videos that don’t come with captions.Everyone in an organisation has a role to play in enabling accessibility to happen for staff – from procurement managers assuring the accessibility of digital tools they buy, to internal comms staff thinking about the accessibility of pages they create on their intranet.In this session we share key steps you can take to deliver internal digital tools and comms that deliver to both your organisation’s values, from having worked with large and small organisations, to make this happen.We touch on:How to ask your employees about their access needsHow to ensure the digital toolks you’re buying are accessibleHelp!
