The Swedish Public Employment Service wanted to take a holistic approach in making its digital services accessible to everyone, regardless of disability. Nexer’s experienced team supported with expertise, training, and competent consultants.
Arbetsförmedlingen is Sweden’s largest employment agency, matching up job seekers with employers and contributing to a well-functioning labour market in general. The agency wanted to make its website and mobile applications more accessible, but faced several challenges: first, the digital infrastructure was large and complex. Second, the accessibility work needed to be carried out in line with legislation. Third, co-workers had to be trained in best practices for digital accessibility.
It is important to incorporate digital accessibility into every part of your organisation – and it’s always easiest to get it right from the start.
During the collaboration with Nexer, the Swedish Public Employment Service made great progress in its work towards digital accessibility. Today, the authority’s digital services are more accessible, and the daily work with documents, websites and films is better adapted to legislation and international accessibility standards. In addition, co-workers are better equipped to create accessible digital content on their own.
“We appreciated the co-operation. Nexer helped us to make our digital services more accessible. At the same time, we initiated a structure for our accessibility work and increased knowledge within the authority.”
Sweden’s new accessibility law mandates that all websites, products, and services be accessible to people with disabilities by 28 June 2025.
The law is based on the EU Accessibility Directive and covers websites, mobile applications, and e-commerce sites.
Digital accessibility enhances the user experience for all, improves your organization’s SEO, and boosts user satisfaction.
