Do you think you could and would try to stay in the workforce if accommodations for people with disabilities were intentionally expected and supported?

I am thinking about accommodations that might include remote work, flexible scheduling and time off, environmental changes, and either solo or team based work. Thinking of those suffering from anxiety or mood disorders, a job coach or workplace advocate who would help them navigate those major anxiety producing experiences and be available to give feedback to the employee, employer, and/or treatment team as needed. Just some examples.

*Disclaimer* I know that many, many disabilities exist that would make working difficult or impossible even with all the accommodations. I am trying to understand whether cultural and policy changes could make much difference for a subset of people needing disability to live.

What accommodations do you think would be the most beneficial to become standard? What, if anything, if executed well, would help you stay in the workforce?
