Communication and information helps reduce the amount of harassment, discrimination and other difficulties that people with disabilities encounter on the job. It’s important for business leaders to convey the value of every individual worker. Research shows the longer that ill former workers are out of the workforce, the harder it is for them to go back, so making this transition as soon as possible leaves them with the best possible chance of success. For example, many job accommodations are no or low cost, and many workers want to maintain their relationships with their employers following a work-disrupting medical condition.
Thankfully, employers can play a big part in making real change happen. The unemployment rate for individuals with disabilities is nearly double the national average. It included information on employment, income, health insurance coverage, transportation and education for individuals with and without disabilities, and it shows significant differences in employment and income level. In February, the Institute on Disability released its annual Report on People with Disabilities.
