🇨🇦 Accessible Canada Act · AODA · WCAG 2.1 AA

Accessible HR for every Canadian.

Workwell is committed to making our platform accessible to all Canadians — including those with disabilities. We build to meet and exceed Canada's federal and provincial accessibility standards.

WCAG 2.1 Level AA

Workwell is designed to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standard, which aligns with Canada's Accessible Canada Act and AODA requirements in Ontario.

Bilingual (EN/FR)

The full Workwell platform is available in both English and French. Employee self-service, notifications, payroll documents, and support are all available in both official Canadian languages.

Keyboard Navigation

All platform functions are accessible via keyboard alone. We follow ARIA best practices to ensure screen reader compatibility and logical focus management throughout the application.

Screen Reader Support

Workwell is tested with NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver to ensure a consistent experience for users who rely on assistive technology. Semantic HTML and ARIA labels are used throughout.
