Often disabled people face discrimination in hiring. If they get jobs, they may face discrimination at work, too. Workplace bullying is ableism in action. Although one employee may bully another, bullying may also be structural: built into workplace culture or policies. Because disabled employees contribute not only their talents but their diverse life experiences, organizations strive to retain them.

Learning Outcomes
