Orion Group Improves the Inclusive Experience Online

Orion Group has always provided an inclusive online experience to enable website visitors to access online content and services barrier-free.

As part of our diversity and inclusion strategy, website visitors can continue to access a wide range of accessibility and language support tools to customise their digital experience with an improved service through Recite Me assistive technology. 

Being able to offer an inclusive experience is essential to support over 25% of the population who may encounter barriers when exploring our website due to having a disability, learning difficulty, visual impairment, or if they speak English as a second language. 

The Recite Me assistive toolbar on the Orion jobs website includes screen reading functionality, multiple reading aids, customisable styling options and an on-demand live translation feature that boasts multiple languages, of which many are text-to-speech, with lots of options to personalise the way you want it.

The Recite Me toolbar features include: 

• Screen reading functionality
• Multiple reading aids
• On-demand live translation feature that boasts over 100 languages including 65 text-to-speech. 
• Styling options - Changes to font size, type and colour. 

Ross MacRae, Group HR Director and Deputy MD, commented, “Here at Orion Group, accessibility is extremely important to us. We are committed to ensuring all customers can access information and services in a way that best meets their individual needs.”

"Diversity and Inclusion are at the forefront of our business development plan in 2025, so we are incredibly proud to be able to continue and improve with Recite Me’s innovative assistive technology across our website.”

The internet can be an incredibly intimidating place for those with access barriers, and those lacking the tools they need to adequately understand or communicate are at a significant disadvantage.  

Ross Linnett, Recite Me’s Founder and CEO commented, “It is important to provide an inclusive online experience, where everyone can use our digital world in a way in which best suits their needs. As more organisations provide accessibility tools online, those who face online barriers can access information and services hassle-free. The digital world must be accessible for all.”
