Accessibility Statement
Staffmark Group strives to ensure that its digital services are accessible to people with disabilities. Staffmark Group has invested significant resources to help ensure access for all users, including people with disabilities, with the strong belief that every person has the right to live with dignity, equality, comfort and independence.
Digital accessibility is not just a target we aim to achieve, but an ongoing commitment that we carry in every aspect of our digital service delivery. We recognize that this requires continuous monitoring, improvement, and adaptation. In the sections below, we elaborate on the various efforts that have been undertaken to address our progress in ensuring digital accessibility for all.
Links
Where possible, links describe the target page and make sense when taken out of context. The site allows browsers such as JAWS, Home Page Reader, Lynx, and Opera to extract the links on a page, allowing you to browse them separately from the page.
We have provided a site map to help with finding content.
Links to our policies, Privacy Statement, Terms & Conditions, and this Accessibility Statement appear at the bottom of every page.
Images
ALT tags are used to display descriptions of images except where they are used for decorative purposes only.
PDFs
The number of PDFs on the site has been kept to a minimum. Adobe has recently updated its free reader to include screen reading functionality.
Color
Good contrast between foreground and background colors is kept throughout the site. The majority of content appears in black on white background. Color is never used as a single method of differentiating content.
Layout
The site is free of frames and uses cascading style sheets for visual layout. Style sheets use relative font sizes. Users have the option to view the site with a range of font sizes.
Language
Our content is written to be as clear and easy to understand as possible.
Measures to Support Accessibility
Staffmark Group takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of Staffmark Group:
- Include accessibility throughout our internal policies.
- Integrate accessibility into our procurement practices.
- Provide continual accessibility training for our staff.
Conformance status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Staffmark Group is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.
Using the Accessibility and Language Widget
A key element of our accessibility initiative is our engagement with a third-party accessibility consulting organization UserWay to help bring the website into conformance. We use industry standard accessibility methods and tools to accomplish this, in accordance with the relevant version of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) the internet’s main international standards-setting organization.
Staffmark Group websites makes available the UserWay Website Accessibility Widget that is powered by a dedicated accessibility server.
The Widget offers user-triggered enhancements that allow visitors to improve the accessibility of the site. These features will, when selected, increase font size, pause animations, change color contrast, and more. People can choose combinations that suit their needs, as per WCAG Level AAA.
The site has enabled Automated Remediation Technology (ART) for all visitors, whether they use assistive technology or not. ART does not detect Assistive Technology usage; rather, it improves accessibility for all site visitors regardless of ability by deploying remediation capabilities such as (not a complete list):
- Images and other non-text elements have alternative text associated with them when required.
- Keyboard navigation is improved with aids such as focus indication and skip links.
