We are excited to announce that DiverseJobsMatter has introduced Recite Me on its website, a web accessibility tool. Our partnership with Recite Me is a critical stride towards our goal of accomplishing an inclusive online community that enables each and every person to actively participate in society.
Diversity and inclusion hold significant relevance at DiverseJobsMatter. The world we envisage is one where equal job opportunities exist for all despite their origin and physical abilities. As such, we are determined to make our website accessible to people from all walks of life including disabled persons.
Recite Me provides an opportunity for dynamics in the digital experience according to the requirements of the users. There are different features that can help us reach more users:
By incorporating Recite Me into our website, we are taking a big leap towards creating an inclusive online community which enables all members to fully participate in societal activities. We not only believe that forming an inclusive online society is right but also good business practice. By ensuring that everyone has access to our site, we help employers find right employees while giving job seekers wider choices.
The technology from Recite me is not just useful for people with disabilities but also beneficial for businesses. In fact, making our website accessible would open up opportunities for job seekers while helping employers find suitable candidates. According to recent data from WHO (2011), over one billion individuals globally live with some sort of disability. This presents a large market segment which cannot be ignored if we want to make our website more usable thus reaching out to this segment will indicate our respect for their opinions and involvement.
Additionally, the technology of Recite Me also helps users who might not have disabilities but face some challenges when it comes to accessing information through the internet. Take, for instance, users whose first language is not English may find it easier to use our website if it is translated into their native languages. Also, there are those people who do not understand jargon or certain words in our industry. Hence, such group will benefit from a built-in dictionary provided by Recite Me that defines any unfamiliar phrases or words.
It’s an honor to work alongside Recite Me as we strive towards creating a more inclusive digital world. If we join hands together, we can easily break all those walls and ensure that whatever needs they have can be met with equal job opportunities.
We would love to hear your suggestions on how we can make our website more accessible and user friendly. Please contact us with your comments and ideas. We can achieve this by building an online community that includes everyone which is more empowering.
