Michael talks with Mary Dale Walters, senior VP of communications at Allsup. It’s hard enough to get a job and if you have a disability, your chances are even worse. A new study found that employer misconceptions and stereotypes contribute to the extremely high (83%) unemployment rate for people with disabilities. The fact that 96% of people with disabilities have an “invisible disability” that’s not readily seen, combined with employer uncertainty on the cost of employing these individuals, contributes to inaccurate stereotypes. In reality, employees with disabilities bring new perspectives to the workplace and may actually save employers money. Telework, the common go-to solution, isn’t as easy as it seems. Almost half (45%) of employers surveyed require a probationary period that prohibits telework. Mary will offer tips for employers to crush these barriers and create a disability-friendly work culture.     Michael can be found everywhere on social media, but especially here and here.  #SHRM18, #CUE2018, #DTHR,
