In our recent survey of roughly 28,000 employees across 16 countries, nearly a quarter said they have a disability or health condition that limits a major life activity. Most companies, however, report that employees with disabilities comprise only 4%–7% of their workforce. That yawning gap raises several red flags for CEOs who aspire to lead a company where everyone has an equal chance of thriving and showing up to work energized to deliver their best. By building a culture where employees feel welcomed and supported in sharing their lived experience with disability, CEOs can ensure that when it comes to inclusion, they are delivering on their values.
