13 Keys to Inclusive Workplaces
Accommodation including AT + Digital Accessibility = Digitally Inclusive Workplaces

14 Digital Accessibility
Digital accessibility levels the playing field for people with various disabilities, enabling equal employment opportunities and workplace inclusion.

15 Digital Accessibility
Digital accessibility is defined as “the ability for a user to perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with hardware, software, websites, and documents regardless of age and ability.” 2011 Final Report of the Center of Development Expertise for Accessibility Task Force

16 Digital Accessibility
Assistive Technology Industry Association (ATIA) defines assistive technology (AT) as “any item, piece of equipment, software program, or product system that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of persons with disabilities.”

17 Digital Accessibility
Assistive Technologies Alternate keyboards Alternative mouse Amplified headsets Video relay phones On-screen keyboards Video audio description Video captioning Text-to-speech reading Screen magnifiers Augmentative communication devices Speech-to-text software Braille refreshable displays and printers/readers Communication Access Real-time Translation (CART)

18 Digital Inclusion Challenges
1. Interoperability 2. Inaccessibility of Applicant Tracking Systems Pre-hire Testing Software Accommodation Tracking Systems Legacy Information Systems i.e. HRIS Learning Management Systems

19 Digital Accessibility
Interoperability — This ability of different IT networks, applications, and components, including assistive technologies, to exchange and use information, i.e. to “talk” to each other, is fundamental to creating an accessible ecosystem for colleagues and consumers with a broad range of disabilities.

20 Digital Accessibility
Important Note: One of the most frequently cited concerns of individuals who are using digital access solutions at work is losing their interoperability access when there is a systems, security and/or software update. It is vitally important: When changes are made to IT tools ensure a process is in place for employees with disabilities to maintain access. Make accessibility continuity a priority in your acceptance criteria before rolling out any changes or additions.

21 Digital Inclusion Models
 ADA Accommodations Team — The digital subject matter expert or team answers to the ADA Accommodations Lead and is only responsible for employee-related digital accommodations, internal-facing requests only.  Disability Advisory Council — The digital subject matter expert is guided by a cross-functional group, often led by someone from Human Resources, which is composed of marketing, communications and branding, legal, risk management, facilities, etc. Support for accessibility is provided throughout the enterprise, fulfilling both external and internal requests.

22 Digital Inclusion Models
 Information Technology Team — The digital subject matter expert answers to the information technology team and ultimately to the Chief Information Office, supporting both internal and external enterprise-wide accessibility needs. Customer Service/Relations — The digital subject matter expert is based in customer services and the Executive Sponsor is a VP. Customers are both external and internal (employees) The CIO answers to this VP.

23 Digital Inclusion Processes
Who drives digital accessibility in your organization? Compliance, HR, D&I, Legal, Branding? Who responds to digital accommodation requests? What is the process? Entry point and implementation. Is talent acquisition included in this process? How?

24 Digital Inclusion Processes
Is internal and external accessibility handled by the same process or team? Do you have an executive sponsor(s) for IT accessibility initiatives? Did you have an overall digital internal and/or external accessibility plan? What kind (if any) of digital accessibility training are IT or other staff provided? Is anyone certified in accessibility?
