The prevalence of hidden disabilities and conditions cannot be underestimated: in the UK, one in five people have a disability, and eighty per cent of these disabilities are not obvious to others. Through conversations with volunteer interviewees, this book highlights the wide range of hidden disabilities and conditions that exist in the workplace, and suggests appropriate accommodations that organisations can make to help their employees play a full part in society.
Ted Smith is the author of the award-nominated Human Resources A to Z: A Practical Field Guide for People Managers. He's a senior human resources and organisation development consultant who has been working on a significant project to make workplaces more inclusive for those with hidden disabilities and conditions. That research has led to this informative and practical guide. All profits from the sale of this book will go to Macmillan Cancer Support.
