Company: Empact

Two people stand in front of an audience in an office, with one using a white cane, for a visual impairment awareness session.

Programming example

Recently, the Empact team had the privilege of hosting the Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped (SAVH) at our office for an eye-opening session on understanding visual impairment.With a new intern with visual impairment recently joining our team, this session was more than just a learning opportunity, it was a step toward ensuring we are a truly inclusive and supportive workplace.Being situated within the Enabling Village ecosystem, we recognise that true inclusion starts with awareness. This was an invaluable chance for our team to:💡 Deepen our understanding and learn firsthand about the lived experiences of those with visual impairment and the practical ways we can offer meaningful support.💡 Explore how to move beyond physical accessibility to create an environment where colleagues and partners of all abilities can thrive.As we work within the PWD (Persons with Disabilities) space, these insights help us refine our approach, allowing us to integrate more effectively and build a workplace where everyone belongs.A huge thank you to the team from SAVH for sharing their expertise and helping us continue to educate ourselves as we become better allies and collaborators.hashtag#GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay hashtag#BridgingtheGap hashtag#EmpoweringGreaterImpact SG Enable
