When I think of disabilities, I often imagine visible impairments. While those are certainly important, it's crucial to remember that disabilities can manifest in countless ways. Chronic pain, mental health conditions, learning disabilities, and many other conditions can have a profound impact on an individual's life, even if they're not immediately apparent to others. That's why it's so nice that KION is challenging our unconscious biases and calling attention to invisible diabilities during Diversity and Inclusion Awareness Month. By acknowledging this and breaking our unconscious biases, we can create an inclusive and supportive workplace for all our colleagues and peers. #kiongroup #wekeeptheworldmoving #kionisdiverse #inclusion #awareness

Did You Know? Studies show that 88% of employees with hidden disabilities don't disclose them at work to avoid stigma. Invisible disabilities, including mental health issues, chronic illnesses, and more, often go unrecognized in workplace inclusion efforts. It's vital for businesses to adopt a personalized approach to support, ensuring all team members have the tools they need to succeed. By fostering an environment that encourages open dialogue and flexible accommodations, we can create a truly inclusive workplace.
