50625 - The Future of Work for Disabled Workers
Tue, August 12, 12:00 to 1:30pm, East Tower, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Floor: Ballroom Level/Gold, Grand Hall GDescription
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, more Americans are seeking out remote work options. Remote work (or work from home) opportunities are particularly beneficial for disabled workers. However, increasingly large companies are rolling back remote work options. As companies shift their work from home policies, demand for remote work may increase—creating competition from nondisabled workers who benefit from flexible work policies as well. The purpose of this session is to understand how current work policies will shape the future of work for disabled workers.
