Hi Kriya Wish you all the best for this new journey. I'm sure our learned colleagues will come up with their suggestions. I think you should ask the authorities if providing screen reading software like Jaws is a norm there. I know of some organizations that do provide VI employees with Jaws within a month of their joining. Accessibility of websites etc is an issue many of our colleagues would be struggling with. You can gradually bring this to the notice of your seniors (esp IT deptt). I welcome views of our colleagues, but I think we should ask for legitimate rights without always looking like activists.
Please keep sharing your experiences with us. Warm regards Sandeep Singh On 2/15/22, Kriya Jain <kriya.jai...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > I am going to join Genpact india in a short period of time.
