TOTHOMweb shifted to full remote work following COVID-19 health recommendations. The company already had flexible hours and work-from-home measures in place to support work-life balance, so the transition was seamless and had no negative impact on the team's activity.
TOTHOMweb participated in the second Mobile Week Girona. David Sabaté gave a practical demonstration of how people with different disabilities access apps and websites. The event promoted digital technology as an inclusive tool that bridges the digital divide and ensures civic participation.
January 28th is European Data Protection Day. Unlike privacy, web accessibility still lacks sufficient awareness and compliance despite existing regulations. Both require effective legislation and enforcement bodies to ensure real, practical application across organisations.
EU Directive 2016/2102, transposed in Royal Decree 1112/2018, sets deadlines: new websites from 20 September 2019; all websites from 20 September 2020; and mobile apps from 23 June 2021. TOTHOMweb helps organisations meet these accessibility compliance deadlines.
January 4th is World Braille Day. Braille displays connect to devices to read on-screen content. Two visually impaired employees at TOTHOMweb use them daily. Abandoning Braille in favour of screen readers harms literacy skills and the professional competitiveness of blind people.
TOTHOMweb presented 'Web Accessibility: Necessary for a Smart City' at the Smart City Expo World Congress. The City of Barcelona participated with the motto 'Humanising technology'. TOTHOMweb is an advisor to the city's digital accessibility office, continuously working to improve its websites.
TOTHOMweb switched from Skype to Slack after Skype's accessibility for screen reader users worsened. Slack promptly fixed the reported issues, setting a good example of accessibility policy. Accessible internal professional tools promote the real workplace integration of all team members.
