As the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee enters its fifth year, it continues to encourage the society, annual meeting attendees, and human factors professionals to improve diversity and equity within the field. At the center of this field are humans and their widely varying needs and abilities. While HFE professionals devote themselves to these needs, their details are often overlooked in order to design for what is assumed to be a majority of users. These assumptions can then lead users to be rejected by products, systems, or objects. This rejection indicates a lack of accessibility, which affects millions worldwide. In this panel, experts in the areas of universal design, healthcare, and accessible design will discuss how to “do” accessibility while demonstrating that accessibility should be considered a required component of usability.

This paper illustrates some of author's views of the ergonomics implementation challenges within diverse industries, manufacturing, office environments, and machinery/product design. We intend to analyze and review the roots of problems from different perspectives and recommend which ergonomics approaches are likely to succeed or fail. Most importantly it is imperative to find the actual cause(s) of obstacle(s) - problem(s) before looking for appropriate ergonomics solution(s) and acceptance of ergonomics innovations by end users. The presented material is based on the substantial authors' experiences in human factors engineering and ergonomics, in industry and academia and in various countries. Our objective is to present an integrated view of ergonomics within corporate bureaucracy in the contexts of favorable and unfavorable environments - factors that lead to success or failure.
