At Smart, we are committed to building a culture where all our people feel they truly belong. This year, we are proud to have made significant progress towards this commitment, including: - Establishment of Accessibility Employee Network Group, with Chief Customer Officer, Bianca Bates, as Executive Sponsor and co-led by Regional Manager Customer Education, Jack Murray and Fidari Jonuzi- Development of an Accessibility Action Plan Silver membership with Australian Disability Network (ADN)- Participation in ADN’s Accessibility and Inclusion Index to benchmark our current state of play and support continuous improvement - The adoption of alt text in our LinkedIn posts and internal communications We look forward to continuing to consult with team members and leaders with lived experience of disability to evaluate the current state of accessibility at Smart and to assess and remove any barriers to inclusion for people with disability. To acknowledge International Day of People with Disability on 3 December, we hosted a lunch across all our offices and a panel discussion, featuring members of our Accessibilities Network Group who spoke about what disability inclusion and accessibility means to them and how we can foster inclusivity at Smart.
