Globally, people with disabilities are the largest minority group. Yet, they are often overlooked or entirely left out of diversity discussions and initiatives. In fact, 90% of global corporations report being committed to diversity and inclusion efforts, but only 4% state having a disability inclusion focus.* Less than 5% of companies investigate the employee experience of those with disabilities.

​

Creating equal opportunity for all has been a driving force behind diversity, equity and inclusion efforts (DEI). Mercer and Global Disability Inclusion have collected data for over a decade about the attitude and experiences of employees with disabilities. With more than 12 million responses, the pattern is clear: employees with disabilities are having a far less favorable experience at work than their non-disabled counterparts. These significant differences are far greater than we have found for other diversity groups such as gender, race and sexual orientation.
