ADA Symposium - Unpacking the Reasonable Accommodation Conversation: Achieving Win/Win Outcomes
Date: Wednesday June 20, 2018 (This event is in the past.)
Training Type: In-person Training
Description:
Best in class companies have an actionable and well communicated accommodation policy and robust practices to support their policy. Deb Dagit, former Chief Diversity Officer for Merck, and the Co-Directors of the Job Accommodation Network moderated a number of conversations/focus groups with companies known for their success in recruiting and retaining individuals with disabilities and their associated RA processes. The conversations culminated into the Workplace Accommodation Toolkit of best and emerging accommodation practices. The Toolkit also provides a number of video-based training modules depicting situations that are frequently experienced between people managers and employees with disabilities during various phases of the employee’s life cycle. Each scenario culminates in a solution to the situation posed. These videos will be featured during this interactive session. In addition, Lou will provide an overview of the Toolkit contents focusing on the most pragmatic and important practices that can be replicated in any size company.
