Hiring and supporting staff with vision loss

Why hire people with vision loss? 

• Fresh ideas and innovation: People who are blind or have low vision bring unique problem-solving abilities and perspectives, driving creativity and collaboration in your workplace.
• Stronger accessibility for everyone: Inclusive workplaces improve experiences for all - employees, customers and partners - while showcasing your commitment to accessibility.
• Adaptability and resilience: Employees with vision loss often have exceptional adaptability, determination and resourcefulness, making them invaluable team members.
• Boost your brand and culture: Inclusive hiring reflects positively on your business, which strengthens your reputation and attracts both top talent and socially conscious customers.

Hiring inclusively is more than a good decision - it’s your competitive advantage.
