To kick off Service Design YAP's second series we knew that we needed to tackle a heavy weight issue. Having collaborated with the UK charity Scope, and Deloitte Digital earlier in the year we knew that Inclusive Design would be a great topic to focus on.
In this episode we talk with Deloitte's Elle Beange, who has worked in the area of inclusive and accessible design for all of her career. We talk about the difference between universal design and inclusive design and Elle provides some great examples of companies walking the walk when it comes to inclusive design.
We also talk about designing a more inclusive hiring approach for designers. How can we assure equity in the interview process and what tactics can employers put into play to assure that everyone gets the opportunity to shine?
