Les mardis de Jordan
Les bons jours, Jordan va au travail à vélo, enchaîne les réunions et plaisante avec l’équipe sur le canal interne. Les jours plus difficiles, sa condition fluctue. Le trajet devient une montagne. La concentration vacille. La peur, ce n’est pas seulement la douleur c’est d’être perçu·e comme « peu fiable ».
Ce qui a tout changé n’a pas été un remède miracle. C’est une gestionnaire qui a demandé : « Qu’est-ce qui rendrait cela faisable? »
Départ plus tardif les jours de poussée. Télétravail possible. Horaire axé sur les résultats. Un outil d’IA pour prendre des notes et réduire la fatigue des réunions. De petits ajustements, une grande dignité.
Jordan n’est pas une exception des millions de personnes vivent avec des incapacités épisodiques : des conditions qui fluctuent. L’inclusion n’est pas un extra; c’est du bon design. Et l’avenir du travail est un lieu où les bonnes et les moins bonnes journées ont leur place.
Les 18 et 19 mars 2026 (12 h–16 h 00 HE), joignez-vous à Realize pour le 6e Sommet national sur les incapacités épisodiques et l’emploi. Découvrez comment créer des politiques, des technologies et une culture qui permettent à des personnes comme Jordan de s’épanouir sans improvisation.
Gratuit • En direct sur Zoom

Venez avec votre équipe. Venez avec vos questions. Repartez avec des outils concrets dès le lendemain.

Jordan’s Tuesdays
On good days, Jordan bikes to work, powers through meetings, and jokes with the team in the group chat. On not-so-good days, their condition flares. The commute feels like a mountain. Concentration slips. The fear isn’t just pain it’s being seen as unreliable.
What changed everything wasn’t a miracle cure. It was a manager who asked, “What would make this doable?”
A later start on flare days. Option to work from home. A results-based schedule. An AI note-taker that reduced meeting fatigue. Tiny shifts, big dignity.
Jordan isn’t an exception millions live with episodic disabilities: conditions that fluctuate over time. Inclusion isn’t a perk; it’s good design. And the future of work is a place where good days and tough days both belong.
On March 18–19, 2026 (12–4:00 PM ET), join Realize for the 6th National Summit on Episodic Disabilities & Employment. Learn how to build policies, tech, and culture that let people like Jordan thrive without guesswork.
