Disability Disclosure: How Your Company Benefits
Creating a workplace that's inclusive to people with disabilities starts with knowing how many of your employees actually live with a disability. But at most companies, only a small percentage of people who have a disability disclose this.
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 disclose their disability to their employers. That means almost a quarter of your staff may have a disability that you don’t know about.
