Multiple sclerosis in the workplace: Best Practices for Managers & HR

Disability , especially invisible disability often discussed at work but rarely understood.

In this episode, Sonica Aron, Founder & CEO of Marching Sheep, sits down with travel photographer and CXO Punkaj Gupta for an honest conversation about Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in the workplace. Punkaj shares his lived experience of leading high-performing teams while living with MS, along with practical insights for leaders, recruiters, and managers.

Together, they explore what Multiple Sclerosis really looks like, how leaders can respond with greater understanding, and why inclusion must go beyond policies and posters.

In this conversation, we cover:
What Multiple Sclerosis really is, in simple, everyday language
How recruiters can assess capability without bias
Creating psychological safety during interviews and onboarding
Reasonable accommodations that support high performance
Managing MS-related fatigue without misreading intent
Why hiring persons with disabilities is a business decision, not charity
How lived experience can shape stronger, more thoughtful leadership

This episode is for leaders who want to build workplaces rooted in dignity, trust, and everyday empathy not just compliance.
