Optimising Workspace Accessibility and Ensuring a Supportive Workspace Exists
In today’s fast-paced digital age, where much of our work is conducted on computers and screens, creating a conducive and supportive display screen environment is vital. For medium to large-sized businesses committed to inclusivity and diversity, it’s essential to recognise the significance of ensuring that employees with neurodiversity conditions, hearing impairments, or visual impairments have access to a screen environment that meets their unique needs. Conducting a Display Screen Environment Assessment is a proactive step towards achieving this goal.
Display Screen Environment Assessment Conditions
A Display Screen Environment (DSE) Assessment involves a thorough evaluation of the workplace screen setup, including factors such as monitor placement, screen brightness, contrast settings, font size, and ergonomic considerations. This assessment aims to identify any potential barriers or challenges that employees may face in using computer screens effectively and comfortably due to their specific neurodiversity condition or sensory impairment.
