Being in work with an energy limiting condition is tough, but knowing your rights and how to access the support you’re entitled to can make a world of difference. That’s why we’ve created this free resource, all about Workplace Adjustments for Energy Limiting Conditions. Keep scrolling down this page to read and download it!
At Astriid, we know from our past lived experiences that when you have a long-term health condition, sometimes it feels as though it takes you twice as much effort to achieve half as much as anybody else. In fact, even sustaining a career often means we must make sacrifices in our broader lives too.
There are many ways the employment sector must evolve to become more inclusive, and this change cannot come soon enough. In the meantime, however, you may benefit from workplace adjustments – knowing what they are, what type of support you can ask for, and how these things might help you. They may not take away every challenge you face, but they can make it much easier to take care of yourself and better preserve your valuable energy as you navigate your working life.

Feel free to share this resource with employers, recruiters, or your line manager – especially if it helps to give you the confidence to ask for what you need. After all, it’s important to remember that workplace adjustments aren’t a special privilege or something that gives you an unfair advantage – they exist to accommodate your access needs and put you on more of a level playing field with your non-disabled co-workers.
