At O’Brien Media, we believe that a truly inclusive workplace is one where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. As a Disability Confident employer, we are committed to creating an environment where people with disabilities or long-term health conditions feel valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.
What Being Disability Confident Means to Us
The Disability Confident scheme is a government-backed initiative designed to help businesses recruit and retain great people, and to ensure that disabled people and those with health conditions have the opportunities to fulfil their potential. For us, it’s not just a box-ticking exercise — it’s a core part of our culture and values.
In today’s fast-paced digital world, our talented team works hard to support businesses across Swindon and beyond with web design, development, digital marketing, and hosting services. But behind our technical expertise is a strong belief in people — every individual brings unique strengths, experiences, and perspectives that help us grow as a business and deliver better outcomes for our clients.
How We Support Inclusivity at O’Brien Media
As a small but mighty team based at Marlborough House in Old Town, Swindon, we’ve put several measures in place to support team members with disabilities or health conditions:
- Flexible working: We offer flexible hours and home working options to accommodate personal circumstances and health needs.
- Accessible workspaces: Our office facilities are accessible, and we make reasonable adjustments to ensure comfort and ease of access for all staff.
- Tailored support: We regularly review workloads, responsibilities, and support needs, ensuring that everyone has the resources and adjustments they need to perform at their best.
- Ongoing learning: We continuously educate ourselves about disability inclusion, ensuring that we stay informed about best practices and can provide a supportive environment for current and future employees.
The Business Benefits of Being Disability Confident
Creating an inclusive environment isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s also good for business. A diverse workforce brings fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and stronger problem-solving. Our clients benefit from the creativity and dedication of a team that reflects a wide range of experiences.
In our day-to-day work — whether it’s building accessible WordPress websites, delivering SEO strategies, or managing fully-managed hosting solutions — our inclusive approach ensures that we’re designing digital experiences that work for everyone, including people with disabilities and different accessibility needs.
Looking Ahead
We’re proud of the progress we’ve made as a Disability Confident employer, but we know there’s always more to learn and do. We remain committed to growing our knowledge, challenging barriers, and fostering a supportive workplace where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
