Internal Accessibility

Our Commitment to Internal Accessibility

At Occulture Media, we are committed to creating an inclusive and accessible environment for all of our employees. Having an internal accessibility policy can help us ensure that all employees, including those with disabilities, have equal access to our resources and opportunities.

This policy can also help prevent discrimination and create a more inclusive and diverse workplace, which has been known to have positive effects on employee morale and productivity. Overall, having an internal accessibility policy can help us operate more effectively and ethically.

Our Internal Accessibility Steps

Here are some steps we’ve made to become more inclusive to our employees with disabilities:

  1. Conduct annual accessibility audits: We assess our operations, equipment, and practices to identify any barriers that may prevent disabled people, including volunteers and future employees from fully participating in the workplace.

  2. Provide reasonable accommodations: Make changes to the work schedule, or job duties to ensure that all employees can perform their job duties.

  3. Communicate effectively: We ensure that all communication, including written and verbal, is clear and accessible to all employees, including those with disabilities.

  4. Make sure our policies are inclusive: We review and update our policies and procedures to ensure they are inclusive and non-discriminatory. If you have concerns about a piece of training content, please reach out to the content owner directly with your feedback.
