Employers' Forum on Disability is the world's leading employers' organisation focused on disability as it affects business.
The 'Business Taskforce on Accessible Technology' is an EFD member initiative that calls for technology to deliver its promise of making it easier to employ, and do business with, disabled people.
EFD chief executive Susan Scott-Parker said: "Technology has the capacity to empower disabled people but it risks becoming the new - and serious - disabler." "The business case for accessible technology is compelling. ICT that is accessible for disabled people is easier for everyone to use and improves everyone's productivity. "Indeed, it's estimated that over 60 per cent of the workforce would be more efficient were they to use existing accessibility features in mainstream technology products."
