The chronically ill and the organisation - a (potential) love story

The organisation had so much to do that it no longer knew which way was up. And then there was the chronically ill woman who simply couldn’t stay quietly in her corner, but was determined to make a difference. Yet however chaotic the encounters sometimes were, the organisation transformed itself a little more each time into a home for fantastic people. Many people in our organisations live with chronic illnesses – which are often invisible. This little story offers an initial insight into the issues that determine exclusion and inclusion. It shows that organisations benefit from close cooperation: where people affected by illness play an active part, a healthy working environment is created for everyone.
