The New York Times & CNBC
The New York Times and CNBC spotlight a BCG report which reveals that companies drastically underestimate how many of their employees have a disability. BCG’s survey of nearly 28,000 workers in 16 countries found that around 25% of respondents said they had a disability or health condition, but many were reluctant to disclose this to their employers or seek accommodations due to fear of stigma or a negative impact on their careers. However, when employee requests for reasonable accommodations are approved, their feelings of inclusion at work improve significantly.
