&lt;p&gt;Asking for help at work can feel uncomfortable. You might worry that people will think you are not capable, or that you are asking too many questions. For deaf and hard of hearing workers, this can feel even more layered. The help you need may not be about the task itself. It might be about communication, access, instructions, meetings or workplace adjustments.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

It is not just about following&amp;nbsp;rules,&amp;nbsp;it is about&amp;nbsp;respect&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;inclusion.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
