The 8 key elements for a successful corporate digital accessibility strategy

Nov



A corporate digital accessibility strategy must encompass eight key elements:

1. Commitment and leadership: It must have the support and leadership of the company's top management to ensure its implementation and follow-up.

2. Initial evaluation: Conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the current accessibility of digital products and services within the company.

3. Regulations and standards: Comply with digital accessibility regulations and standards (such as WCAG guidelines) to ensure compatibility with different devices and users.

4. Training and awareness: Provide employees with training on the importance and techniques to create and maintain accessible digital products.

5. Integration in the development cycle: Incorporate accessibility from the early stages of digital product development, rather than adding it as a later task.

6. Testing and feedback: Conduct regular tests with real users with functional diversity to gather feedback and continuously improve accessibility.

7. Evaluation and metrics: Establish clear metrics to measure the progress and effectiveness of the digital accessibility strategy.

8. Continuouss updates: Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and best practices in accessibility to adapt and continuously improve.
