Identify and support employees with invisible disabilities

Diversity and inclusion in the workplace have become concerns in today’s organisational practices. Time and again, diversity and inclusion focus on what can be seen, particularly in terms of race, gender, age, religion, and physical ability. However, some of the barriers employees faces are invisible. When employers think of employees with disabilities, they picture what is visible which includes presence of mobility aids like wheelchairs and tricycles or other assistive devices like crutches. But disability doesn’t always “shout” or “announce itself”; disability can be invisible.
