Accessibility

Overview

We welcome all individuals working at EY, or who are thinking about applying, to tell us what support and adjustments they need to be their best in the application process, and at work. You only need to share what you are comfortable with so we can help put the right support in place. We understand that sharing your needs with us can be daunting, so if you have any questions before or during your application, we welcome you to discuss this with us. Anything you tell us will be kept completely confidential.

We take inclusivity seriously, and we try to ensure all candidates with disabilities or long-term health conditions receive the support and adjustments they need, we know there are always improvements that can be made. As we strive to achieve the highest experience for all our candidates, we encourage and welcome feedback on how we can work together on areas needing improvement. 

Workplace and application support

Some of the adjustments we frequently make to the process include:

• Extra time to complete assessments
  
  
• Speech-to-text and magnification software
  
  
• Offline assessments
  
  
• Close captions for videos
  
  
• Early access to view assessment venues

We understand that your need for support and adjustments doesn’t end with your application. Making workplace adjustments to support people with disabilities or long-term health conditions can benefit both the individual and our business. We want all our people to be able to work effectively so they can contribute to the success of our firm. Removing barriers or providing additional support can help people perform effectively.  So here are some of the adjustments we’ve made for colleagues at EY:

• Adjusted responsibilities and workload
  
  
• Adjusted hours and working location
  
  
• Ergonomic chairs
  
  
• Priority desks in our flexible workspace environment
  
  
• Speech-to-text and magnification software
