The document summarizes a study on the impact of stuttering in the workplace. 412 people who stutter from around the world participated in an online survey. The majority agreed that stuttering interferes with job performance and that they would be better and more successful at work without stuttering. Respondents also believed employers view stuttering negatively and that it decreases chances of being hired and promoted. The study concludes stuttering presents challenges in the workplace due to biases and limited opportunities for people who stutter.
