Philips Accessibility Day

Philips Accessibility Day was created as an internal event, for designers to learn how accessibility can vastly improve experiences for healthcare professionals and patients.

Awareness: It’s not design if it’s not accessible

In this internal awareness workshop for our Experience Design team, we will explore why accessibility must be at the heart of everything we create. Through hands-on activities using assistive technology settings and disability simulators, we will foster empathy and deepen understanding of diverse user needs. The session will also provide practical design tips to help embed accessibility into our everyday workflows.

Global Accessibility Awareness Month

Over the last several years, Liberty Mutual Insurance has been on a multi-year journey to create an even more inclusive and accessible workplace. To increase the company’s digital accessibility and inclusion practices, in May, we will hold a month-long series of 17 virtual and in-person events to enrich employees’ understanding of accessible products and to build the skills necessary to design and engineer accessible experiences for our employees and customers. Through our events we will explore topics like accessibility-first engineering, accessible culture for the workplace, building accessible practices for our agile teams, and the future of accessible AI development. The program is provided by our Technology Learning department in partnership with the organization’s employee resource group (ERG), Able@Liberty + Allies – which supports people with disabilities, caregivers, and family members – providing first-person insight into the impact of accessible product design.

Hyland’s Global Accessibility Awareness Day

Between May 15 and May 31, Hyland will be hosting a series of internal activities focused on accessibility awareness. These efforts are meant to increase understanding of how we’re working to create more inclusive, accessible experiences—both for our solutions and our internal culture.

What to Expect:

  • Video Spotlights: A set of short videos will be recorded and made available on Cornerstone. These videos will showcase Hyland team members sharing insights into current accessibility initiatives and why this work matters.
  • Free Stickers & Handouts: Accessibility-themed stickers and a printed handout will be available to help spread awareness. The handout highlights the Be My Eyes app, which connects volunteers with people who are blind or have low vision, helping them navigate daily tasks independently.

This is a private, internal event open only to Hyland employees. The goal is to promote awareness, encourage conversation, and recognize the steps we’re taking together to support accessibility. We’re submitting this event for internal visibility and awareness.
