145 6 DISCLOSURE AND SUSTAINABLE EMPLOYABILITY AND WELL-BEING AT WORK Conclusions In our study, we found the actual disclosure decision (yes/no) not to be related to sustainable employability and well-being at work. However, we did find that how workers had experienced their disclosure decision was significantly associated with sustainable employability and well-being at work. It is important to increase the likelihood of positive disclosure experiences. Two important reasons for military personnel to be positive about their non-disclosure decision were that their MI remained private and that it prevented them from getting discriminated against. This highlights the importance of a safe work environment for disclosure, where non-disclosers also feel safe to disclose. Those who were positive about their disclosure decision, indicated that they had received support from their supervisor and work adjustments. When there is a safe work environment, more people will be inclined to disclose and can benefit from supervisor support and work adjustments. This can promote sustainable employability and well-being at work. To create a work environment which is safe for disclosure, intervention studies should focus on 1) supervisor training on how to support workers with MI and 2) the stigma surrounding MI. Additionally, as research on the relationship between disclosure and sustainable employability and well-being at work is scarce, future research should further examine this relationship longitudinally.
