RECITE ME SECTORS

Construction Accessibility

The industry of construction, engineering, and manufacturing is moving forward with inclusion for all. To support a diverse range of website visitors who are looking for employment, project updates or company information accessibility support is needed.

The Construction Sector Needs to Be Digitally Inclusive to Support Website Visitors

A recent article by Forbes Magazine identified customer demand for personalisation as one of the key trends driving the industrial sector. Great products and services are no longer enough.

Nearly one in five people have some form of disability that could affect their capacity to access information online. 70% of people with access needs click away from a website they find difficult to use. Making construction websites accessible is an excellent way to attract customers.

Why you Should Provide Online Support in the Construction Sector

Increased Revenue

1 in every 5 people has a physical, visual, auditory, cognitive, or neurological disability. So if your website isn’t accessible, you’re missing out on 20% of the market share.

Employer of Choice

Being inclusive sets you apart as an employer of choice. Higher staff satisfaction scores and reduced turnover rates will increase the pool of candidates who want to interview, work, and stay with you.

Enhanced Brand Image

Welcoming people with varied disabilities and access needs promotes your commitment to inclusion and sets you apart from the competition.

Let us show you how easy it can be.

Thousands of construction webpages made accessible through the use of assistive technology

“As part of our Responsible SEGRO programme, we are committed to fostering a more inclusive culture and building a more diverse workforce. This has led us to undertake a number of initiatives, both big and small, which will make a real and positive difference. Having the Recite Me toolbar on our SEGRO.com site is an important element because it allows or makes it easier for more people to access information about the company. Without it, many of them would be excluded from the opportunity to gain this knowledge.”

“We started looking around for accessibility tools and the options that were available to meet British Land’s requirements. The Recite Me tool offered a cost-effective, fast-to-implement solution. The key attraction of this solution was that we did not need to make significant investments in our existing website and intranet platforms to implement this accessibility tool kit. “This is not about disability; this is about taking a responsible approach to making sure that all of our digital content is available to all our customers and employees. We believe that everyone should have equal access to these online resources – barrier-free.”
