Hidden disabilities (e.g. psychological disorders, chronic pain, learning disabilities, and other unseen conditions) don’t manifest in ways immediately obvious to others, and employees aren’t inclined to disclose them to their employers either, whether due to fear of retaliation or other adverse impacts on their careers. In this episode of All Things Work, host Tony Lee speaks with Kara Yarnot, Vice President of Strategic Consulting Services at HireClix, about her firsthand experiences navigating her own hidden disabilities at work, as well as what HR, talent acquisition and the C-suite can all do to create inclusive, supportive environments for employees with hidden disabilities.
