Fascinating research by the Work Foundation on remote and hybrid work’s impact for disabled workers - the key is getting employers to advertise as many roles this way as possible

Government will soon outline how it intends to support those out of work due to ill health into employment. New research from @irhws.bsky.social suggests access to remote & hybrid work will be key, with 85% of disabled workers reporting it is essential or very important when looking for a new job.
