MPs Report Highlights Hostile Work Environment for Disabled People
A report by the cross-party Work and Pensions Committee of MPs has highlighted that many disabled people face a 'hostile environment' at work due to inaccessible workplaces and employers' reluctance to make reasonable adjustments. The report calls for a two-week legal deadline for employers to respond to adjustment requests and suggests that employers should provide written explanations for refusals. The report also emphasizes the need for employers to inform all employees about the rights of disabled workers. Diversity consultant Toby Mildon supports the recommendations, noting that delays in adjustments are often due to leadership and respect issues rather than process problems.
