Employer reporting on disability data has jumped significantly, with 71% now collecting this information in 2024 compared to 50% in 2023. The increase reflects growing awareness of disabled workers' needs, though GRiD warns that collecting data alone isn't enough—it must be used to improve diversity, talent management, and workplace support.
Disability Pride Month, celebrated in July, honors the contributions of individuals with disabilities and promotes visibility and awareness of disability rights. Originating from Boston in 1990, this international movement challenges societal perceptions of disability, shifts focus to abilities and strengths, and drives advocacy for workplace inclusion and accessibility.
