High rate of disability under-reporting in the workforce

Most companies report a 4-7% disability rate within their workforce. However, new research from BCG indicates that the true percentage is much higher, with 25% of workers globally identifying as having a disability or medical condition that limits a major life activity. This under-reporting has significant implications for both individuals and businesses, leading to lower levels of inclusion and worse workplace experiences for those with disabilities. The study also reveals that these gaps can be closed through the implementation of the right strategies and interventions, enabling people with disabilities to have an equally positive work experience as their non-disabled peers.
