Workers are willing to disclose disability — but few ask for accommodation.

A Deloitte survey of 10,000 workers with disabilities, chronic health conditions, or who are neurodivergent revealed that while nearly 9 in 10 disclosed their disability at work, 75% refrained from requesting workplace accommodations due to fears of negative perceptions. Many accommodation requests were denied, with reasons including cost, difficulty of implementation, or being deemed unreasonable. Non-inclusive behaviors like microaggressions, harassment, and bullying were reported by some workers, but concerns about reporting and lack of accessibility at work events were prevalent. Deloitte recommended making disability inclusion a visible leadership priority and taking meaningful actions to address these issues. [Extracted from the article]
