According to a Deloitte report called Disability Inclusion @ Work 2024: A Global Outlook, 78% of respondents disclosed their disability to an HR person at work.
The report reveals that people with disabilities are more likely to disclose to HR or their direct supervisor rather than their team or other colleagues outside their team.
The HR departments play a crucial role in creating an inclusive workplace and should prioritize accessibility and establish a good rapport with people with disabilities.
The survey, conducted across 20 countries, also highlights the importance of HR in supporting career advancement and creating mentorship programs for employees with disabilities.
