Creating environments where people with disabilities feel welcomed, valued, respected, heard and supported is crucial for success in today’s economy. One of the keys to this is creating a place where individuals are comfortable self-identifying that they have a disability.
How can companies create a work culture where employees are comfortable disclosing a disability? Now more than ever, how people identify, as well as when and why they disclose a disability, determines workplace culture. Research shows it is not an overstatement to say that having more people who openly disclose their disability creates an inclusive culture that has the power to dramatically shape future business culture and success.
