Description
Pascal Bijleveld, CEO of ATscale, and Christopher Patnoe from Google explore why assistive technology is essential for workforce inclusion and business performance. With 2.5 billion people worldwide requiring assistive technology, access remains a significant barrier to employment. This session examines the productivity gains and retention benefits that come from prioritising assistive technology, alongside the systemic challenges that prevent access. An interactive workshop follows, inviting leaders to design practical strategies for integrating assistive technology across employee lifecycles and supply chains.
