This revolves around the issue of convenience constraints in the workplace and public acceptance, especially for employers. The review study mentioned in this article is to achieve an objective, namely to identify the level of awareness of employers towards people with disabilities. As well, the method used to complete this study was through review. The review was conducted using a literature review that involved a process of searching for articles and journals on employers' awareness of employees with disabilities. Most of the articles were published between 2008 and 2021. Research is conducted by gathering information through computer-based searches such as Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and ResearchGate. Based on the articles that we reviewed, we have confirmed that the facilities contributed to being a major aspect of the employers' awareness towards workers with disabilities. In conclusion, among the suggestions that can be submitted on this issue is that the government should create a task force to review the policy of one percent disabled workers in the public sector. In addition, the government should introduce a National Disability Strategy for Malaysia.
