A Call to Action: Innovate and Iterate Toward Disability Inclusion

The current moment has the potential to revolutionize disability inclusion and belonging in general in the workplace. If we collectively return to “pre-pandemic” business practices, we may lose all of the innovation that was born of necessity and miss out on massive progress, productivity, and profit as a result.

Companies can create a truly inclusive hybrid work environment by fostering open communication, embracing advances in assistive technology, and prioritizing a human-centered approach. Continuous learning and improvement are essential, but the positive impact of remote work and other technological and cultural accommodations on disability inclusion is undeniable. We encourage all companies to consider their place of work policies as tools for building a more inclusive and equitable future of work for everyone.

The bottom line is that transparency and clear communication are crucial for building trust with employees with disabilities. By incorporating their needs and concerns from the beginning, companies can create a truly inclusive hybrid work environment. This doesn’t just remove barriers, it unlocks the full potential of a diverse and talented workforce. The lessons learned during the pandemic can be a springboard for building a better, more inclusive future of work for everyone.
