True inclusion means creating a safe space for employees to navigate their disability identity changes and providing the necessary accommodations. 

In this episode of Managing Well with Tonya Ladipo, we talk to Graciano Petersen, the Senior Director for Talent, Culture, and Training at RespectAbility, an organization that fights stigmas and advances opportunities for people with disabilities. Petersen shares how employers can proactively prepare for disability identity changes and how to involve employees in the conversation.
