5 Things to Know About Reasonable Accommodation for 2025 – December 5, 2024
Wouldn’t it be great if your first reaction to a reasonable accommodation request didn’t involve increased heartbeat, immediate beads of sweat, or fear? It doesn’t have to be that way. You can be the supervisor (or advisor) who sees the benefit of the interactive process and confidently navigates it to find a solution that works for the employee and the agency.
This webinar is based around five important principles of reasonable accommodation that are relevant and timely for the upcoming year. Understanding and applying what you learn over these 60 minutes will help you avoid the most devastating reasonable accommodation mistakes, whether it’s making an unnecessary and abrupt change to an employee’s existing accommodation, clinging to undue hardship to deny a request, or some other misstep.
Learning objectives
- Recognize the various forms of reasonable accommodation requests.
- Discuss when telework is – and is not – an effective accommodation.
- Identify the most common reasonable accommodation mistakes and how to avoid them.
