Invisible disabilities can impact day-to-day activities, including everyday workplace responsibilities. Here are some ways in which employers can support people with invisible disabilities.
Educate and raise awareness: Offer training sessions and educating the team can dismantle misconceptions and create a supportive environment.
Flexible work arrangements: Offer flexible schedules or remote work options.
Open communication channels: Encourage employees to comfortably discuss their challenges and needs without fear of judgment.
Accommodations and adjustments: Make reasonable accommodations.
Support networks and resources: Establish employee resource groups or provide access to resources and support services that cater to the specific needs of individuals with invisible disabilities.
Promote a culture of acceptance: Embrace diversity and inclusion at all levels of the organization and recognise the value each employee brings to the table.
