Knowing what it does is great, but Knowing the strategies and benefits is crucial, and not always obvious.
A5 Remove the stigma around ‘specialist disability related software' and promote as general productivity tools. They can be essential for disabled colleagues to help remove barriers, but can be useful for most people #BDFTechTaskforce #AXSChat

A5 Whatever tech solutions you put in place, ensure that the end user knows how to use it! This might sound obvious, but apparently, it’s not! #BDFTechTaskforce #AXSChat
A5 Tech is critical to the workplace, but only when implemented and supported well. Speak to your end users and check their tech is working for them #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #Accessibility #AXSChat
A4 Senior leaders need to trust their managers to implement the flexibility in their teams that they are happy with, and which still delivers business critical results #TheGreatBigWorkplaceAdjustmentSurvey2023 #AXSChat
A4 Establish what clear communication means across the whole of your organisation. It should not be an adjustment to know what your job is, have clear explanations, or have decisions communicated clearly #TheGreatBigWorkplaceAdjustmentSurvey2023 #AXSChat
A3 Candidates should be aware of why disability-related questions are asked and that they are under no obligation to answer them #Accessibility #AXSChat
A3 Employers should not ask disability or health related questions prior to offering someone a job aside from in seven restricted circumstances (see the report for more detail). #TheGreatBigWorkplaceAdjustmentSurvey2023 #AXSChat
A3 Recommendations include that the application processes should be fully accessible with all relevant information advertised. Job descriptions should describe the job well and accurately and include any physical demands of the job. #Accessibility #AXSChat
