encouraging digital efficiencies and workplace diversity

Better access for individuals who need it most

In the UK, more than 12 million citizens lack the digital skills to use online government services and access information with confidence - whether it’s searching for jobs, paying a council tax bill or finding information on tax credits. Often it’s the most vulnerable social groups who need easy access to central and local government services. And yet they’re the same individuals who can be excluded from accessing online support and social provisions.

Embracing a more diverse workplace

Understanding - and being understood - is a growing challenge in today’s diverse workplace, where almost 8 million people are born outside the UK and 19% of the working population have some form of disability. What’s more, ‘hidden’ disabilities like dyslexia can deter employees from reaching their full potential without extra support.

Satisfied employees are over 30% more productive and 10% more engaged. Assistive technology software alone has been shown to increase staff engagement and performance in the workplace by a fifth, simply by removing the barriers to communication.
