September 20, 2024 London, UK Intellias, a global software engineering and digital consulting company, has won the UK-based Corporate Engagement Award for our UnSEEn Inclusivity Days initiative. This internal program raises awareness for people with disabilities through educational events, networking opportunities, and efforts to promote an inclusive work environment.  

For the 14th consecutive year, the Corporate Engagement Awards (CEA) recognize companies that excel in creating a positive social and environmental impact through their corporate engagement and social responsibility initiatives. The CEA honor three key areas: corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs, corporate sponsorships, and communication strategies. This year, Intellias earned Bronze in the category of “Best Alignment of Brand Values During a CSR Program.” 

At Intellias, equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) are core values that drive our community-focused efforts. One such initiative is UnSEEn Inclusivity Days, aimed at raising awareness about people with disabilities through educational events, fundraising, and promotion of an inclusive work environment. We highlighted the daily challenges faced by individuals with complete blindness or low vision.  

We strive to create a supportive, inspiring, inclusive environment where diverse people can reach their full potential and work together on developing next-generation digital solutions. Initiatives such as UnSEEn Inclusivity Days can break barriers, foster unimpeded communication, encourage change, and make workplaces more inclusive. We are proud of the results of this initiative and are determined to continue our work by expanding it into a series of regular initiatives.

To raise awareness for people with vision impairment and their needs, Intellias partnered with the Three After Midnight Museum, an NGO that provides educational dark museum tours led by guides with low vision and complete blindness. During UnSEEn Inclusivity Days, Intellias and the museum collaborated to create diverse activities that promote inclusivity and accessibility:  

  • A special movie night during which people could opt for eye masks to experience the movie without seeing it
  • Touch the Art: A celebration of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities with an art exhibit featuring tactile 3D-printed replicas of famous paintings
  • Inclusivity and accessibility workshops on developing an inclusive and barrier-free corporate culture

 

At Intellias, we are committed to fostering inclusive workplaces. To this end, two Intellias offices have already successfully completed inclusiveness audits. Intellias also focuses on supporting the transition of veterans to civilian life by tailoring our policies and creating an inclusive work environment. As a result, Intellias has received the Veteran Friendly Company award from Veteran Hub and has been named one of the Top 25 employers for veterans by Forbes. Intellias has also ranked in the top 10 for its diversity and inclusivity practices in the workplace, as well as for its non-discrimination policies.
