Accessibility and Digital Well-Being
Digital technologies are now essential to how work is performed, communicated, and managed. While these tools offer significant benefits, they can also create barriers to accessibility, increase cognitive demands, contribute to digital fatigue, and impact employee well-being. Employers are increasingly challenged to create inclusive workplaces that support all employees to participate fully while supporting healthy and sustainable technology use.
Accessibility and Digital Well-Being Training provides practical, evidence-informed training led by experienced occupational therapists. Participants will explore how workplace policies, digital environments, communication practices, and technology use can either support or hinder employee health, productivity, and inclusion. The training equips leaders, HR professionals, disability management practitioners, health and safety teams, and employees with strategies to improve accessibility, promote digital well-being, and create more inclusive and psychologically healthy workplaces.
