Ray and Keri break down the conception of the ERG, and their unique perspectives on defining a person with disabilities. Keri's personal experience with ADHD and OCD, and the place of neurodiversity in the ERG, provide a raw and enlightening perspective on the workplace landscape for those with disabilities.As we forge ahead, we delve into the intersecting worlds of disability, mental health, and neurodivity in the workplace. Our guests reveal how ERGs can provide a supportive pillar in challenging times, and we discuss strategies that organizations can adopt to support employees with disabilities. We round off with envisioning the future of the ERG and its potential societal implications. Join us as we hear our guests' aspirations, their vision for a more inclusive future, and how ERGs can be potent tools to reduce unconscious bias.
