Sue Harrison, Senior Manager at Accenture, shares her experience of building a successful career while living with profound hearing loss in her right ear.
Her disability doesn't define her - or limit what she can achieve. Accenture was the first employer where Sue felt comfortable being open about her disability and explaining the support she needed.
By providing the support and equipment she needed, Accenture enabled her to work confidently, comfortably and to perform at her best.
Sue's advice is simple but powerful:
"Be honest about what you need. Asking for adjustments is not a weakness; it enables you to do your job well and participate fully. Any good employer will value you for who you are and make the adjustments you need to succeed."
Creating inclusive workplaces is about fostering a culture where people feel safe to speak up, ask for support, and reach their full potential.
