Abstract

Employment is a crucial factor in achieving economic security and self-sufficiency, yet individuals with disabilities often face significant barriers to accessing meaningful and gainful employment opportunities. According to the United States Census Bureau, individuals with disabilities are 65 percent less likely to be employed than those without disabilities. This discrepancy is due, in large part, to limited diversity, equity, inclusion interventions, and knowledge in the workplace on invisible disabilities. This chapter looks to explore the nature of this issue through management consulting intervention with a hospital with significant disability discrimination.
