We humans see, hear, move, think and take in information in different ways. We vary in height, speed and sensitivity to light, sound and smells. We have different levels of concentration, different levels of stamina and different ways of working together, communicating and finding our way around an environment. <\/strong>Furthermore, our circumstances change as we go through life. Our needs can vary depending on our age, health, work responsibilities, life situation, family responsibilities, stress levels, the time of year or the environment we find ourselves in.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet workplaces, products, services and environments are often designed on the basis of a rather narrow view of how people function.<\/p>\n

\u2018Friday Knowledge\u2019 is hosted by Anna Bergholtz, an entrepreneur, journalist, speaker and well-known advocate for accessibility and inclusion. When she lost her sight as an adult, her own perspective on the world changed. M<\/strong>With her extensive professional experience, she has a particular ability to highlight things that many others overlook.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this Friday Knowledge piece, we explore universal design and what it can mean in practice for employers. Why it is not about special arrangements for a select few, but about creating better solutions for more people from the outset. When we take human diversity as our starting point, we can build workplaces where more people can contribute, develop and thrive. It\u2019s about accessibility, but also about innovation, securing the workforce and the ability to draw on a wider range of perspectives.<\/p>\n
