Dear List, At Union Bank of India spreading awareness at various levels is one of the vital activities which is being carried out to strengthen the pursuits of inclusive and accessible banking.
Continuing these awareness initiatives on disability inclusion and accessibility amongst the Bank's officers fraternity, Bank conducted a session for the batch of probationary officers who joined the Bank in June 2023. During the session myself and Prashant Naik deliberated on the different disabilities types and related assistive technologies. The session also covered the various statutory guidelines issued by RBI, IBA and Union Bank of India. More than 1500 newly joined officers attended the session. These officers will be posted in the length and breadth of the country and may come across the persons with disability as their colleagues and customers. The knowledge empowerment happening through such sessions at the time of induction is instilling a culture of inclusiveness in the organization. To ensure inclusive induction training program for these 1500+ new POs which includes hundreds of new employees with disabilities, a train-the-trainer program was conducted by team Union Access for all the faculty members in the Bank. Further, visually impaired officers who have joined the bank are being provided with the induction training reading material in DAISY Audio book format and accessible PDF. Bank has also empowered the visually impaired recruits by installing NVDA/JAWS on their PCs during the induction training itself. Early this week Union Access also conducted digital accessibility awareness session for Bank's IT specialist officers who have on transfer recently joined the central office from various zonal centres across the country. Union Bank of India with its strong commitment on accessible banking is truly leveraging the principals of inclusive trainings and disability awareness.
