Headline: How can HR reduce hidden disability discrimination at work?

Source: HRMagazine
From the article: “Educating staff on how to be allies, hearing from others what it is like to live with a given hidden disability, and fostering a more psychologically safe environment will go a long way to improving the conditions for staff to feel able to share their disability. There needs to be greater education, understanding and empathy towards colleagues, customers and visitors who may use disabled toilets, or ask for help due to their unseen disability or condition. Staff need to understand that, just because the person isn’t in a wheelchair, it doesn’t mean that they aren’t struggling, in pain, or in need of help.”

HR Magazine · How can HR reduce hidden disability discrimination at work? - HR MagazineGreggs, the food retailer, has issued an apology after an employee reportedly stopped a customer from using the disabled toilet unless she proved she was disabled.

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a simple tool for you to voluntarily share that you have a disability or condition that may not be immediately apparent – and that you may need a helping hand, understanding, or more time in shops, at work, on transport, or in public spaces.

Globally 1 in 6 of us live with a disability. That is approximately 1.3 billion people.

But while some of us experience a disability that is visible, many have a non-visible condition or experience a combination of both visible and non-visible conditions. These disabilities can be temporary, situational or permanent. They can be neurological, cognitive and neurodevelopmental as well as physical, visual, auditory and include sensory and processing difficulties. They can also be respiratory as well as chronic health conditions such as arthritis and diabetes, chronic pain and sleep disorders.

Me gustaría conocer a personas que hayan usado la #tarjeta de #HiddenDisabilities en #aeropuertos y que puedan comentarme su experiencia. Me estoy planteando comprar una en inglés y otra en español, pero no sé si renta (los gastos de envío son...).

He visto en aeropuertos promocionándola para tener prestar una atención más personalizada a las personas con cualquier tipo de #discapacidad que viajan (solas o acompañadas). Así que me gustaría conocer testimonios de primera mano. ¡Gracias!

Did you know? Around 80% of disabilities are ‘hidden.’ This means that a significant portion of the academic community may face unseen challenges when accessing content.

Hidden disabilities can encompass a range of conditions, from cognitive & learning differences to chronic illnesses.

Have you heard of the Jam card. It is available as a card or an app.

JAM stands for just a minute. It's a scheme that aims to help raise awareness with all kinds of service providers that some of us need a little more time during various transactions.

A great resource for autistic folks, those with learning disabilities or anyone with a hidden disability who would like a discrete way to ask for a little more time.
