From the course: Supporting Accessibility in a Hybrid Workplace

Inclusive workplace basics

- As work environments become more hybrid, does your company provide information in formats that are accessible to everyone, regardless of whether or not they have a disability? It is likely that you are working with someone with a disability. With awareness and understanding of key digital tools, you can create a supportive and inclusive work environment for everyone, wherever they are and whatever their information needs. I'm Jessica Williams, and I'm an organizational effectiveness consultant specializing in digital collaboration tools. I'm passionate about the role technology can play in improving lives. As a consultant to some of the world's most iconic and respective brands, I'm excited to show you the principles and practices for developing accessible content that create an inclusive experience for everyone. In this course, you'll learn pillars to implement that will help you deliver clear and accessible messages to people with vision, hearing, learning, or neurodiverse needs. I'll walk you through tools built right into applications you use every day. And finally, I'll share ways to ensure that you're conducting inclusive meetings that enable everyone to participate and contribute their ideas. By making your team and your organization hospitable to everyone, you'll unlock creativity and innovation and reap the competitive advantages of attracting and retaining both talent and new business.
