Accenture’s Offices in Chile Now Accessible Thanks to LazarilloApp
In a groundbreaking move aimed at fostering diversity and inclusivity, Accenture, the global consulting firm, has integrated LazarilloApp technologies into its Santiago de Chile offices. This strategic alliance marks a significant step towards providing equal opportunities for individuals with disabilities, facilitating their participation in consultancy projects and various innovative initiatives.
The primary objective of this collaboration is to enhance the accessibility of Accenture’s facilities. Through the LazarilloApp, indoor navigation systems have been implemented, allowing users to seamlessly navigate through the premises. This includes generating routes to entrances, workspaces, and communal areas, ensuring a more inclusive environment for all employees and visitors.
Yohanna Narváez, Workplace Associate Manager at Accenture Chile, emphasized the importance of creating workspaces that cater to diverse backgrounds and experiences. By leveraging innovative technologies and fostering a culture of inclusivity, organizations can drive positive impacts and cultivate greater empathy within their workforce.
Daniel López, Lazarillo’s Communications Manager for Latin America, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the opportunity to empower individuals with disabilities and leverage their unique talents in the workforce. “The integration of LazarilloApp in Accenture Chile opens doors to new avenues of professional development, enabling users to enhance their competitiveness in the job market.”
To showcase the functionality of the app and raise awareness about accessibility issues, the Lazarillo team conducted a live demonstration at Accenture Chile’s headquarters. Attendees were able to experience firsthand how digital tools can facilitate navigation for individuals with disabilities, fostering empathy and understanding within the workplace.
With approximately 1400 employees in Chile, Accenture offers a diverse range of career opportunities spanning consultancy, technology, and operations. This initiative reaffirms Accenture’s commitment to creating an inclusive workplace where individuals can thrive based on their abilities and merits.
The collaboration between Accenture and Lazarillo represents a significant stride towards fostering diversity and accessibility in the corporate sector. By harnessing the power of technology and embracing inclusivity, organizations can create environments where every individual feels valued and empowered to contribute to their fullest potential.
