Global Disability Inclusion, LLC posted the below on LinkedIn and I found the difference in the percentages of companies stufying different diversity segments. Disability is certainlty the forgotten diversity segement, despite being the biggest minority group.

Great article in Psychology Today about disability is the forgotten diversity segment. We agree. And we have previously shared from our research with Mercer that 90% of companies study gender differences, 75% race & ethnicity, but only 5% of companies look at disability as a diversity segment. Yet, 15-20% of your employee population likely has a disability.

Read the full Disability at Work: The Forgotten Diversity on Psychology Today.

Disability in the workplace is a form of diversity—yet it is widely misunderstood and often excluded from diversity considerations. While most organizations have diversity programs, only 4 percent of them include disability in their diversity efforts. Disabled1 workers face higher unemployment rates, underemployment, job insecurity, and workplace discrimination.
