Verbit ensures that accessibility is provided internally for our employees. A core part of our onboarding process includes training employees on important accessibility practices and policies when joining the Verbit team. This established culture allows us to best serve organizations utilizing our captioning, transcription, audio description and translation solutions to make their workplace and remote work processes more accessible and inclusive.
