Globally, the prevalence of disability is on the rise
rise, accompanied by a growing awareness of this issue. The disability rights movement asserts that the right to employment is fundamental for full participation and human dignity. While significant advancements have been made in terms of broad diversity programs and policies, those specifically tailored to individuals with disabilities, particularly less visible or invisible disabilities, have received less attention.

Various contextual factors influence the employment prospects of persons with disabilities. These factors include the legal environment and protections, cultural and social values, religious norms, and broader economic conditions. The De Gruyter Handbook of Disability and Management adopts an interdisciplinary approach to study disability and management, drawing insights from disability studies, psychology, education, and legal domains. Its primary objective is to incorporate a contextually sensitive and global perspective, emphasizing actionable areas of inclusion. By including contributions from diverse regions worldwide, including those that have historically received less attention in disability studies, the handbook aims to provide a more international focus.

Managers, human resource professionals, and policy makers play a crucial role in supporting individuals with disabilities. To facilitate this support, there is a need for more insights, best practices, and tools. This handbook aims to guide and support the efforts of organizational stakeholders and policy makers as they strive to become more inclusive.
