We're pleased to have been joined by Rebecca Florisson, Principal Analyst at the Work Foundation at Lancaster University on our WorkL Answers series – discussing the disability employment gap. 📌 Some key points: 📉 Even when employed, disabled people are often paid less and have worse working conditions. 😟 Disabled workers are about 1.5 times more likely than non-disabled workers to be in "severely insecure work". 💪 Flexible working options like working from home can help disabled workers manage their health alongside their jobs. 🛠️ Proper support from a line manager and having the right tools and equipment are also essential for disabled employees to succeed.

☣️ Toxic workplaces aren’t caused by bad people but by broken systems. In the latest article published by ThePeopleSpace, Siân Harrington explores how fear, fairness and power shape culture and why addressing toxicity is now essential to building future-fit organisations. Key insights from industry experts include: 💬 Dr Jeanne Hardacre: "What people describe as toxicity is a set of symptoms. The main cause of these symptoms is fear, due to people’s human needs not being met". 💬 Merry Carole Powers: "Every bad apple is rotting for a reason... A noticeable and speedy decline in performance is often a sign of burnout or quiet quitting".  💬 Nik Kinley: "Toxic behaviour can be a one-off inadvertent action that causes harm, which is just an accident. When it's repeated multiple times it's a toxic pattern of behaviour".  💬 Lord Mark Price: "Fairness, recognition, empowerment and purpose are the antidotes to systemic toxicity".  💬 Michael Jenkins: "Move as fast as you can to address the source of toxicity. The longer you procrastinate, the worse things will get and the more your leadership brand gets weakened." 👉 Read the full article at: https://lnkd.in/eqCVNau8
