Supporting Accessibility
in the Workplace
We’re committed to maintaining a work environment where everyone can contribute effectively. Removing barriers helps ensure employees can access the tools, spaces, and information they need to succeed.
Our approach focuses on:
Tools for people who are blind, colour blind, or have low vision, such as high contrast mode, keyboard shortcuts, magnification tools, screen readers, and wayfinding systems.
Solutions for those who are hard of hearing, have hearing loss, or deafness, including closed captioning and sign language interpreters.
Customizable interfaces and task management tools to support those with dyslexia, seizures, autism, or other cognitive differences.
Assistive technologies to aid with distraction, reading, and concentration, such as do-not-disturb mode and noise-cancelling headsets, along with flexible work arrangements that allow for necessary breaks.
Our buildings have accessibility features, including ramps, wide doorways, spacious layouts, and elevators, as well as alternative input devices like adaptive keyboards and ergonomic mice.
