The Need for Personalization in the Workplace

Many individuals require unique accommodations to thrive in their work environments, yet they often hesitate to ask for help due to fear of being perceived as weak or difficult. This silence can hinder both employee wellbeing and organizational performance, as employees may struggle without the support that is available to them. A shift towards normalizing the request for accommodations could significantly benefit the workforce by making the process of seeking support more inclusive. This personalized approach not only helps disabled individuals but also allows any employee—such as single parents or caregivers—to feel empowered to voice their needs.
