Social inclusion of employees who are blind or low vision
Abstract
This study investigated social integration in the workplace of 13 blind or low vision employees. Qualitative research methodology was used. The employees participated in semi‐structured interviews responding to questions on social barriers in the workplace. The findings show that they do not enjoy full integration into the workplace because of the lack of social support. Social barriers are not acknowledged as workplace barriers that lead to social exclusion at work. Organizations need to be proactive in developing concrete solutions to remove social barriers and facilitate the social inclusion of blind or low‐vision employees into the workplace.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
