Our mission at Microsoft is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. Our Microsoft Digital Employee Experience team lives this mission every day by empowering employees across the organization with inclusive digital and physical experiences.<\/p>\n
Leading our accessibility efforts over the past two years, I\u2019ve seen teams make great progress\u2014not just in those experiences, but also in the culture we\u2019ve created across the organization. It\u2019s energizing when you hear someone share an accessibility tip in a meeting or see the \u201cAccessibility: Good to Go\u201d message in someone\u2019s PowerPoint presentation.<\/p>\n
We have continued to evolve the way we incorporate accessibility practices into our employee experiences\u2014from meeting etiquette to the digital experiences that enable our employees to do their best work. And with the recent explosion of generative AI using machine learning to further drive productivity improvements, it\u2019s important we continue to extend these practices to new experiences, so everyone benefits.<\/p>\n
We worked with the Accessibility team to create a quick guide of best practices for large, internal meetings like Town Halls that serves as a checklist for administrators, meeting organizers and leaders. It helps us all be consistent on what to do when planning a meeting to help everyone fully participate.<\/p>\n
