Inclusion and Accessibility
Inclusion & Accessibility are among the seven key pillars of ESDC Workplace. Our department is demonstrating leadership in this area by implementing a modernized work environment offering flexible and dynamic workspaces that can meet every employee’s needs and preferences, including those with visible and invisible disabilities.
Inclusion VS Accessibility in the workplace
Inclusion in the workplace: refers to ensuring that individuals of any race, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, ability, etc. feels respected and included in their workplace.
Accessibility in the workplace: refers to a workplace design that allows equitable access to all individuals.
