From article: "But even though employees are disclosing their disabilities, it doesn’t mean they’re asking for appropriate workplace accommodations; that can include anything from crafting alternative schedules, to adjusting noise and lighting levels in the office. Out of people who have disclosed their disability at work, 75% haven’t asked their employer for an accommodation. That may be due to their previous inability to get one approved. A staggering 74% of respondents say they’ve had at least one rejected, and nearly 20% say they’ve had all formal queries rejected. Of employees with disabilities who have had their requests rejected, 41% were told it was too costly, 30% that it would be too annoying to implement, and 29% that it was simply unreasonable." https://lnkd.in/gGbAdkn8 #disability #disclosure #accommodations #workplace #management #humanresources

Effective change in disability inclusion relies on data-driven insights and transparent reporting. Business leaders who commit to robust data collection and reporting on disability inclusion demonstrate to stakeholders that disability inclusion is not just a feel-good initiative, but a core business priority backed by measurable actions and outcomes. After all, there's no progress without data – and no data without leadership commitment to gathering and utilizing it effectively.

Exciting news from the U.S. Department of Labor (yes, REALLY!! 😊) In honor of #NationalDisabilityEmploymentAwarenessMonth, they have announced an innovative new tool – the Situations & Solutions Finder – which offers examples of workplace accommodations shared by users of the @JobAccomodationNetwork.    I personally loved looking through the case studies and examples in the database, filterable by specific #disabilities as well as other limitations. Did you know that nearly half of reported accommodations cost nothing, and the median cost for those that do require an expense is just $300?! Small adjustments can make a big difference!
