Magnify Access
Magnify Access develops digital solutions to support the diverse and inclusive needs of people with disabilities. Its mission is to create solutions that transform services while improving access and efficiency. The Workplace Accommodation System (W-PAS) is a virtual accommodation hub designed to be a secure and confidential repository, storing the accommodation needs of staff with disabilities. This system provides an accessible means for employees to identify their accommodation needs and employers to assess and support the accommodations. Magnify Access envisions a paradigm shift in how organisations manage the accommodation process. W-PAS can help change the workplace by reducing discomfort and workload, and ensuring access to an equitable and accommodating work environment.
