What is ableism? In Episode four, we define ableism, discuss how ableism can impact everyone, including those not living with a disability, and identify ways leaders, managers and individuals can tackle ableism in the workplace. Understanding ableism requires education and addressing it in the workplace requires intentional and inclusive action. Catarina Rivera, a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Consultant specializing in disability diversity, joins us to unpack ableism, which is hardly discussed. Catarina also offers steps we can follow to address ableism in the workplace.
