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 webinar 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 needs
  • How to ensure the digital toolks you’re buying are accessible
  • Help! I can’t change what we’ve bought… What do I do?
  • How do you make sure your comms don’t let the side down

For International Day of Persons with Disabilities and #PurpleLightUp 2020 we’ve created a poster and video summaries of 10 essential points in the employment journey of a staff member who has a disability where digital accessibility is key to enabling them to thrive.
