EMPLOYEE PERSPECTIVE
Jo
I’ve worked for E.ON for over 18 years and when I was diagnosed with MS in January 2019 they were incredibly supportive.

This included supporting a change in shift pattern, being able to park on site (despite not fitting the criteria for a blue badge) and never once making me feel rushed to come back to work following aggressive treatment to manage the condition. I’m passionate about people with underlying conditions being able to stay in work by getting the support they need. But not everyone knows where to start or has the confidence to advocate for themselves. I’m now chair of our disability inclusion network and work alongside others with a variety of long term and neurodivergent conditions. Together we show that both our visible and invisible disabilities bring so much to the table when we’re properly supported.
