Boosting Inclusion at a Workplace by Including Invisible Disabilities

It is important to understand invisible disabilities in the workplace because, based on statistics, a significant portion of employees are likely to have one. According to a 2017 study by the Center for Talent Innovation, among white-collar, college-educated employees, 30 percent have a disability. But only 3.2 percent self-identify as having a disability to their employers. And of all employees with a disability, 62 percent have an invisible disability.

Through this interactive workshop, we will explore the following questions:

• What is an invisible disability?
• Why are people often silent about invisible disabilities?
• How to promote disability inclusion in the workplace? And What are the steps to build an - inclusive workplace for people with disabilities?
• Why is creating a culture of inclusion important?
