Global Accessibility Awareness Month

Over the last several years, Liberty Mutual 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 launched a month-long series of virtual and in-person events to enrich employees understanding of what it means to create accessible products. Focused on design and development, through 15 events we explored topics such as inclusive innovation, accessible-first engineering, web accessibility and more. The program was run 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.
