Is HR doing enough to support disabled employees in the workplace? with Emily Abbott

What are HR doing to support employees with disabilities in the workplace? Do you have the policies and reasonable adjustments in place to understand the breadth of physical and psychological differences in each individual you hire? In the 4th episode of The Culture Shift, host Vicki Baars is joined by our very own Emily Abbott, Chief of Staff at Culture Shift. She shares her career journey and how she found fulfilment in working for a mission-led organisation. Emily shares personal experience living with epilepsy and chronic illness, highlighting the importance of workplace support and accommodations. Workplaces often don't understand the complex impacts of chronic illnesses on employees, leading to false economy and detrimental outcomes. Disclosure rates are low due to lack of safety and comfort in disclosing disabilities, leading to missed opportunities for support and accommodations. Dive into this episode and further your understanding of the modern workplace and its evolving dynamics. Want to join the conversation?
