Are you a coworker of an employee with a disability and have some thoughts on this experience that might be helpful in improving workplace culture for people with disabilities in the workforce? Have you worked for a year or more with a person(s) with a physical disability, who is presently employed in either a permanent, full-time position; or in a long-term, remunerative position that allows them to be financially independent? Our research team would like to interview you to gain insights from your experience as an insider/outsider regarding the challenges of people living with disabilities. Our aim is to learn from the lived experiences of employees with disabilities, co-workers, and employers so that we can distill commonalities from various individuals’ perceptions and anecdotes of their workplace successes and challenges. By exploring the insights and experiences of co-workers, we hope to improve the recruitment and retention of persons with disabilities and to promote more inclusion in the workforce overall.
