In this bonus edition of Work.Work.Work. we present our full interview with Catherine Hale, whose pioneering work has helped define a subset of chronic illness known as ‘energy limiting conditions’. In the interview we explore Catherine’s research in detail, unpicking the complexity of disability identity for people with chronic illness. We also explore the biases that prevent workplaces from becoming spaces of inclusivity, and the opportunity costs associated with not accessing this ‘invisible talent pool’ of workers.
