Work with a Visibly Better Employer
Find organisations which have achieved the Visibly Better Employer quality standard, proving that they are an inclusive employer for people with sight loss.
Visibly Better Employer is an RNIB programme for employers, backed by major organisations including Tesco and HM Revenue and Customs, which helps them become better and more inclusive for people with sight loss.
When an organisation signs up for the Visibly Better Employer quality standard, we help them to put in place practices which will enable them to become an inclusive employer for blind and partially sighted people.
What we assess as part of the Visibly Better Employer quality standard
RNIB has a team of specialists in employment and accessible working practices who support employers to improve their recruitment and retention practices for both new and existing staff who have sight loss. We work with the employer to consider how jobs are advertised, the application and interview process, IT systems and reasonable adjustments, promotion opportunities and organisation wide staff knowledge about sight loss.
To achieve the Visibly Better Employer quality standard an organisation must make any accessibility changes suggested by RNIB and prove its commitment to becoming an inclusive employer for blind and partially sighted people.
