More people with disabilities are entering the workforce, largely thanks to the advent of remote and hybrid working, companies are creating more workplaces that meet the needs of all.

A record 5.9 million disabled people aged 16-64 were employed in October in the U.S., up nearly 25% from February 2020, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, while disabled employment in the U.K. totaled 4.8 million at the start of 2022, an increase of 1.9 million since 2014, according to government data.

Yet despite having greater access to jobs, many physically disabled people still struggle to access their employers’ buildings.

"It’s the environment that disables people," says Anne-Lyse Raoul, Head of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) at JLL in EMEA. "There’s a need for more inclusion of people with disabilities in the conversation so we can learn how to adapt buildings to benefit everyone."
