A new survey found that employees with disabilities 'significantly under-disclose to their employers.”
When Brad Loftus founded his company’s disability employee research group, it was a group of one. Now it’s 1,300.
This spring, Loftus co-authored a report, published by BCG, that found while most companies say just 4% to 7% of their workforce have a disability, the reality is likely much higher.The survey found that employees with disabilities"significantly under-disclose to their employers.” It matches a previous survey from Accenture where just 20% of employees with disabilities believed their workplace was fully committed to helping them succeed.“People were sort of struggling alone trying to show that they didn't have weakness," Loftus said,"that they wouldn't be perceived as not being able to do the job. And whether that was their own perception or the reality, they weren't getting the help that they needed to do the job better.
“More and more big businesses in particular recognize disability as something that needs to be included instead of, you know, cured, fixed, or not talked about," Gould said."But we're also seeing that many businesses don't necessarily know the best way to do it."
