Be better ally to disabled colleagues in the workplace—here's how.
Disabled professionals are far rarer than we should be. Access barriers, institutional discrimination, and social misconceptions can all push disabled workers out of employment opportunities they’d likely otherwise be offered. For those who are hired, these same hurdles continue to exist in a way that prevents us from experiencing full inclusion in our workplaces.
Having the support of a coworker, whether it’s to edit emails or strategize for promotions, can be a lifeline within the ever-changing landscape of the workplace. And given what disabled people go through to even show up, this person can be paramount to our success. I’m fortunate to have not just one, but three confidants at work. Stephanie, Hannah, and Amy invite me to happy hours at hotel bars and answer at least one slightly frantic text per day. But more than that, they are truly invested in advocating for the disabled community and centering my expertise on the subject. A few months ago, Stephanie arranged for me to present an “introduction to ableism” course for our entire staff.
