Survey: How People Experience Chronic Illness at Work

HBR wanted to learn more about how people experience long Covid and other complex chronic medical conditions at work. In a survey that garnered more than 200 responses, we learned that while most non-ill respondents felt their employers were understanding of health issues, most chronically ill respondents disagreed. Chronically ill respondents also told us about the types of accommodations they've been able to access, barriers to those accommodations, and their knowledge that they can still achieve - even if the way they work looks different. We also heard from non-ill respondents who shared their strategies for creating more-inclusive organizational cultures.
