Navigating Disability Disclosure in the Workplace

Let's Circle Back - Privacy and Sensitivity

New Episode Alert!
“Let’s Circle Back with EmployAbility” is back with another powerful conversation that you won’t want to miss!

This episode features two remarkable members of our team, Lisa H and Jemma S dive into one of the most sensitive and misunderstood topics in the workplace: disclosing a disability.

From Lisa’s personal experience navigating post-injury employment to Jemma’s insights on creating safe, inclusive environments, this conversation is a must-watch for both employers and employees.

Key takeaways:

  • Disclosure is a personal choice, not an obligation.
  • The way questions are asked matters.
  • Creating a safe space leads to better outcomes for everyone.
  • It’s not about the disability, it’s about the adjustments that enable success.

Whether you’re navigating your own journey or shaping workplace policies, this episode offers real talk, practical advice, and a powerful reminder: inclusion starts with understanding.
