Embracing Invisible Disabilities in the Workplace
This is both Jason’s signature presentation and by far his most popular.
One in three working-age adults have an invisible disability and that number is rising. The good news is that people with invisible disabilities can be just as productive as anyone else. However, embracing invisible disability in the workplace requires trust, good communication and an innovative mindset
In this presentation, Jason Reid shares real-life insight into what it is like to work with an invisible disability, as well as how to manage and support others who have the same challenges.
Attendees will learn:
- The challenges of invisible disability in the workplace and mindset for success.
- How managers and employees with invisible disabilities can build trust and improve communication.
- How peers and managers can support those with invisible disabilities in the workplace by adopting an innovative mindset.
Available on-line or in person.
Ideal for: Large organizations, DEI initiatives, Employee Resource Groups.
Also includes additional resources for continued learning.
