Support your employees with a digital Sunflower card.

A simple, discreet way for staff to share information about their hidden disabilities, in their own words. 

Digital Sunflower Cards provide employees with a secure, discreet way to share information about their non-apparent disabilities in a way that feels comfortable to them.
By sharing their personal Sunflower profile, written in their own words,  they can communicate the support or understanding they need, instantly and privately, without awkward conversations or having to explain themselves repeatedly.

Whether in a meeting, with a colleague or customer, or in a busy environment, they can choose what to share, from how they prefer to be communicated with to how their disability affects them day to day.

With a simple tap of their card on a phone, their profile appears instantly, and can be updated at any time.

 

How do digital Sunflower cards work?

 

The digital Sunflower card (Sunflower Extra) is a digital support card that employees can carry with them.

With a simple tap on a phone, it opens a private digital profile where they can share:

  • What their hidden disability is
  • How they prefer to be communicated with
  • What helps them in certain situations
  • Any medication they take or may need
  • Anything they want others to understand

They are always in control, they choose what to share, and when.

Why provide Sunflower Extra for employees?

Because not everyone wants to explain themselves, especially at work

For many people, work can be full of moments where they need support… but don’t feel comfortable asking for it.

Think about:

  • A team member in a meeting who processes information differently
  • Someone in a busy office or shop floor who becomes overwhelmed
  • A colleague who finds phone calls or last-minute changes stressful
  • A member of staff who simply doesn’t want to repeatedly explain their situation

Some people may not want to:

Wear something visible
Speak up in front of others
Or explain the same thing again and again

So they stay quiet.

Sunflower Extra gives them another option.

A quiet, controlled, dignified way to share what matters, only when they choose to.

 

Providing Sunflower Extra cards to your team is a simple way to:

  • Show leadership in disability inclusion
  • Reduce the need for awkward or repetitive explanations
  • Build trust, loyalty, and a disability-inclusive culture 
  • Enhance workplace well-being and accessibility.
