Why 30% of Employees Have a Hidden Disability, and What Leaders Miss? | Diary of a CHRO Ep24

António Vieira Santos is a Sociologist & Innovation Strategist @Atos A LinkedIn Top Voice, Podcast Host, and Book co-author about Accessibility He will also be a speaker at the HR Week Lisbon 2026, April 28-29. In this Conversation, we unpack why around 30% of the workforce lives with a hidden disability, what that actually means in day-to-day work, and the critical things leaders and HR teams often miss. Hidden disabilities don’t always look like disabilities. They can include neurodivergence, chronic illness, mental health conditions, sensory differences, and more, often invisible, often unspoken, and frequently misunderstood. You’ll learn: Why hidden disabilities are far more common than most leaders think The assumptions that quietly exclude people at work How “one-size-fits-all” leadership creates unnecessary barriers What Leaders and Companies can do differently—starting now This isn’t about compliance or labels. It’s about better leadership, better work design, and better outcomes for everyone. If you lead people, manage teams, or shape workplace culture, this conversation matters.
