Looking back, I realized that as part of a small team in a massive organization, we focused on a long-term goal that we also believed was the most effective and sustainable path: gradually shaping the organization\u2019s culture to embrace accessibility.<\/p>\n
Around the same time, I started listening to\u00a0\u201cAtomic Habits\u201d by James Clear. The connection was immediate. Habits and culture are tightly linked concepts, and fostering an accessibility culture was really about\u00a0embedding accessibility habits into everyone\u2019s processes<\/strong>. That\u2019s what we focused on. It took us time (and plenty of trial and error) to figure this out, and while there\u2019s no definitive playbook for creating an accessibility program at a large organization, I thought it might help others if I shared my experiences.<\/p>\n Before we dive in, here\u2019s a quick note<\/strong>:\u00a0This is purely my personal perspective, and you\u2019ll find a bias towards culture and action in big organizations. I\u2019m not speaking on behalf of any employer, past or present. The progress we made was thanks to the incredible efforts of every member of the team and beyond. I hope these reflections resonate with those looking to foster an accessibility culture at their own companies.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Looking back, I realized that as part of a small team in a massive […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":193,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"coauthors":[5],"class_list":["post-222","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-approach"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/infymyblogstst.infosysapps.com\/application-modernization\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/infymyblogstst.infosysapps.com\/application-modernization\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/infymyblogstst.infosysapps.com\/application-modernization\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/infymyblogstst.infosysapps.com\/application-modernization\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/infymyblogstst.infosysapps.com\/application-modernization\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=222"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/infymyblogstst.infosysapps.com\/application-modernization\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":264,"href":"https:\/\/infymyblogstst.infosysapps.com\/application-modernization\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222\/revisions\/264"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/infymyblogstst.infosysapps.com\/application-modernization\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/infymyblogstst.infosysapps.com\/application-modernization\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/infymyblogstst.infosysapps.com\/application-modernization\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/infymyblogstst.infosysapps.com\/application-modernization\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/infymyblogstst.infosysapps.com\/application-modernization\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=222"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
