This research investigates the employment experiences of physically challenged individuals in Filipino organizations, emphasizing existing policies like the Magna Carta for Disabled Persons. Despite legislative support, challenges persist, including negative attitudes and inadequate facilities, leading to underemployment among disabled workers. Using qualitative methods, the study conducted semi-structured interviews with HR professionals across education, local government, and BPO sectors. Key findings highlight that inclusive workplace practices enhance job satisfaction and performance for disabled employees. However, issues such as insufficient manager training on diversity and limited funding for workplace modifications remain. The research advocates for tailored HR policies and continuous employee training on disability awareness to foster inclusivity. Ultimately, it aims to guide organizations in enhancing diversity and supporting physically impaired staff, contributing to a more equitable workforce that benefits both employees and organizations.
