Dyslexia affects around 10% of the UK population, yet many people still choose to hide their diagnosis at work—often out of fear of stigma or being seen as ‘less capable’. While awareness is growing, too many UK workplaces are still not set up to support neurodivergent employees in practice. From unclear communications to unrealistic expectations around written tasks, everyday barriers remain. But with the right adjustments—like assistive tech, clearer communication, and inclusive management—people with dyslexia can not only succeed, but thrive. This blog explores what it’s really like to work with dyslexia, why so many people stay silent, and how HR can build a culture where disclosure feels safe. It ends with three key actions for employers: audit your practices for inclusion, train your managers, and create visibility without pressure. True belonging means no one should have to hide how their brain works just to get by.
