Webinar: Leave no one offline: engaging companies on digital accessibility

Digital accessibility, not as a compliance measure, but as a "human-first" based digital inclusion transformation initiative, is at the beginning of its journey. If companies can establish digital accessibility as a foundational pillar to their overall digital transformation strategy and engage employees with disabilities at the product and service and workplace design phase, then we can begin to move digital impact measurement of digital accessibility away from compliance and over to innovation and business differentiation.

Frances West, Founder of FrancesWestCo and main author of the ILO Global Business and Disability Network's publication "Leave no one offline: A primer on engaging your company on digital accessibility" presented the key insights and recommendations covered by this publication.

Steve Framil, Founder & Associate Director Enterprise Digital Governance at Merck/MSD, presented the company’s journey on digital accessibility so far, success stories, current plans and the challenges that remain.

Yves Veulliet, Global Diverse Abilities Inclusion Leader at IBM, moderated the session.
