Headline: How can HR reduce hidden disability discrimination at work?

Source: HRMagazine
From the article: “Educating staff on how to be allies, hearing from others what it is like to live with a given hidden disability, and fostering a more psychologically safe environment will go a long way to improving the conditions for staff to feel able to share their disability. There needs to be greater education, understanding and empathy towards colleagues, customers and visitors who may use disabled toilets, or ask for help due to their unseen disability or condition. Staff need to understand that, just because the person isn’t in a wheelchair, it doesn’t mean that they aren’t struggling, in pain, or in need of help.”

From the article: "Negative stereotypes and exclusionary practices persist despite the fact that people with disabilities are the largest minority group in the United States, representing nearly 30% of the population. Whether or not you identify as disabled, most people live or work in close proximity to others with a disability.

"For years I have researched how people with disabilities have been kept out of efforts to guarantee equal access for everybody, particularly in higher education. This exclusion is often due to unfounded beliefs about capacity, intellect and merit, and the false premise that disability inclusion requires lowering standards.

"However, studies demonstrate that including people with disabilities is good for everyone, not just disabled people. Schools and workplaces are more collaborative and responsive when people with disabilities are included at all levels of the organization. In other words, disability inclusion isn’t about charity; it’s about making organizations work better."
