We are committed to providing better experiences for both customers and employees with accessibility needs, as well as fostering the growth and development of all individuals, regardless of their physical, cultural or social characteristics. At Zendesk, we are diligent in demonstrating ourselves as a socially responsible leader that champions equity both internally and externally. Accessibility in particular is about making information, activities, and/or environments sensible, meaningful, and usable for as many people as possible.</span></p><p><span style="color: #17494d;">Zendesk understands that the need for accessibility reaches beyond our business. We believe the human side of accessibility is just as important – this is why we consider that inclusivity and opportunity is for everyone. This consideration is built into our commitment to the customer service industry, our customers, their end-users, and our approach to ensuring that individuals can access the technology they need.</span></p><p><span style="color: #17494d;">In terms of product, our goal is not only to meet the industry standard of WCAG 2.2 AA, but to create experiences where anyone who accesses the Zendesk platform with assistive technology has a productive and successful experience.</span></p><h2 id="h_01KSN9SPPPKDH884VQ4BAW9CAW"><span style="color: #03363d;"><strong>Removal of barriers</strong></span></h2><p><span style="color: #17494d;">Zendesk takes steps to identify barriers to the accessibility of our external products, as well as to our internal communications, procurement, facilities, and programs and services. From a customer product perspective, we define accessibility barriers as any exception to WCAG 2.2 AA and seek to minimize them. From an internal perspective, we view barriers as any hindrance to an individual’s access to the tools, facilities, and programs and services made generally available within Zendesk.</span></p><figure class="wysiwyg-table" style="width: 100%;"><table class="wysiwyg-table-resized">

<p><span style="color: #17494d;">Accessibility is critical at every stage of employment. This means accommodations are made available to candidates and employees upon request. Zendesk further aims to embed accessibility into our employment policies, processes and practices, including recruitment, employee onboarding, professional development, business travel, short- and long-term disability leaves, return-to-work processes, and redeployment. We are also focused on hiring, retaining, and promoting inclusion in talent, and enabling all talent to succeed. As part of this goal, we take steps to remove accessibility barriers to full and equal participation in our organization.</span></p>
