Episode #10: The Unseen Workforce: Navigating Disability in Diverse Ages
Manage episode 418448336 series 3557072
When generational lines meet the barriers of disability, the workplace becomes a complex tapestry of needs and experiences. On today's Transformation Talks!, Cindy LaCom and Sharon Wilson unravel the intricate intersection of disabilities both visible and invisible in the workplace. With a narrative that's both intimate and enlightening, Cindy shares her journey through a world tailored for the able-bodied and how she, along with others across generations, are rewriting the script. From the silent battles of chronic illness faced by boomers to the mental health frontlines navigated by Gen Z, our conversation uncovers the often unseen challenges and the profound importance of embracing all types and variations of disabilities.
In this episode, we examine real-world scenarios where generational divides compound the hurdles for those with disabilities, such as the difficulty some may face in simply reading a presentation slide or understanding the complexities of social anxiety. This episode is a call to action, urging a cultural shift toward a workplace that not only recognizes but celebrates diversity in ability and age. Join us as we confront the unconscious biases that shape our world and discover how, together, we can foster a more inclusive, productive, and respectful workplace for all.
