Where's your site's Accessibility Policy?

Your site may have a privacy policy, but do you have an accessibility policy? Read this from Senator John Edwards' presidential campaign site:

Web Site Accessibility

John Edwards's Web site was designed to be accessible to all visitors. You'll notice clear and logical navigation tools throughout the site. Information should be easy to find. The John Edwards for President Web site follows popular Web accessibility guidelines promoted by industry and the disability community.

Visitors with disabilities may notice special features throughout the site that help make information available in alternative forms. In many cases, this functionality makes reading easier with text visible in large sizes and high contrasts. If you use screen reader software, you will find that photographs, charts, and illustrations are accompanied by text descriptions. The organization of each Web page is presented in a logical reading order maintained when assistive technology is used.

Your input can help to improve accessibility. If you notice any Web site features that are difficult to use, please contact us.

Are you blowing away great candidates just because:

• You don't have an accessible career site?
• You don't have a web accessibility policy?
• Your ATS system bakes in barriers?
• The job boards where you spend your ad budget, and make first impressions, are harsh to the handicapped?
• You don't share your accessibility policy with job seekers, missing the brand benefits?

Get this act together, and you have the inside track on millions of people need just a little help.

Opportunity doesn't move you? How about fear of litigation?
