Organizations remain committed to creating inclusive work environments, especially for employees with disabilities, while navigating rapid changes in the demographics of those in the workforce. This shifting landscape, coupled with multi-step accommodations processes, can hinder both inclusion efforts and growth. Fortunately, partners that offer more streamlined ADA accommodations can reduce time and complexity for both employers and their teams.
The evolving work landscape
Let’s set the stage. In today’s workplace, there is an unprecedented convergence of workers representing up to five generations, yet the demographics of the workforce continue tilting older. A recent study from Bain & Company found that the share of workers aged 55 or older will exceed 25% of the workforce by 2031 — nearly 10 percentage points higher than in 2011. Additionally, a Gallup survey highlighted that 41% of American workers expect to work beyond the age of 65.
