VMware’s Valuable 500 Commitment:
VMware believes that technology will play a critical role in building an equitable, accessible, and inclusive digital future for all. This includes the over 1 billion people with disabilities around the world. From ensuring the technology we develop is accessible for all, to empowering our employees through accessible, inclusive, and innovative engagement and wellbeing programs, we are driving meaningful impact on disability, wellness, and neurodiversity inclusion as key components of our business-led 2030 Agenda.
Recognizing that we cannot do this alone, nor all at once, we are investing in co-innovation and collaboration with our expansive ecosystem of customers and partners.
-
We are training our employees to make deep, informed inquiries about accessibility when procuring new software.
-
We are working with vendors to make existing software solutions more accessible.
-
We launched Crest, an open source machine learning-based automated accessibility testing tool that helps developers build more accessible software, improving compliance with ADA guidelines and boosting accessibility for people with disabilities.
VMware is redefining the workplace of the future by enabling distributed workspaces that empower employees with equal opportunity, inclusive leadership, and increased flexibility—within our company and beyond. We strive to include people with disabilities in every technology selection and development opportunity.
-
We are fostering a culture that promotes self-identification and enablement―crucial for driving true inclusion for people of all abilities.
-
We are creating accessible and equitable experiences from the moment someone applies for a job at VMware. All jobs at VMware are open to candidates with disabilities.
-
From understanding different type of disabilities, to raising awareness on HR policies that support employees with disabilities, our employees have access to on-demand training and resources that promote disability inclusion. This includes “how-to” guides and resources for content creators to build accessible content; for managers to build inclusive teams; and, for employees in Sales to understand VMware’s commitment to providing accessible software to our customers.
