Disability Inclusion @ Work 2024

---

Deloitte’s first Disability Inclusion @ Work survey reveals that workplace accessibility is a significant challenge for many.

Deloitte Global’s Disability Inclusion @ Work 2024: A Global Outlook report provides insights into the workplace experiences of 10,000 respondents with disabilities, chronic health conditions or who are neurodivergent across workplaces in 20 countries. The findings paint a picture of varying attitudes toward self-identification and disclosure, hesitancy in asking employers for workplace accommodations, inability to participate in work events due to a lack of accessibility, and experiences with non-inclusive behaviors. 

Alongside providing this critical insight, this survey has also identified five steps that employers can take to help make meaningful progress on disability inclusion at work:

1. Make disability inclusion a visible leadership priority, at board level—accompanied by meaningful actions. Encourage senior role models, which in turn can help enable people with disabilities, chronic health conditions or neurodivergent individuals to thrive and succeed at work.

2. Provide roles that help enable strengths—and managers and leaders who both understand the importance of disability inclusion and help enable it.

3. Embed accessibility into business as usual throughout the career lifecycle, including ‘moments that matter’.

4. Recognize the importance of providing workplace accommodations when they are needed—and that the accommodations application process is clear, timely and stigma-free.

5. Provide a disability-inclusive culture, address non-inclusive behaviors, and help enable everyone to report without concern.
