  • Chronic health conditions are taking a toll on the US workforce, one that's partly hidden because many employees are reluctant to tell employers about their situation, according to a new study.

The article from MSN discusses a study revealing that a significant portion of U.S. workers do not disclose their chronic health conditions to their employers. According to the research, many employees fear discrimination, job loss, or negative changes in their work environment if they reveal conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or mental health issues. This reluctance to disclose can lead to inadequate workplace accommodations, potentially exacerbating health issues or reducing productivity. The study highlights the need for better workplace policies that encourage transparency and support for employees with chronic conditions, suggesting that such policies could improve both employee health and overall workplace efficiency.
