The Secret to Successful ADA Disability Interactive Processes

If you’ve ever hemmed or hawed over whether accommodations are reasonable, then don’t miss this training. It’s not uncommon for discussions between employees and employers and ultimately decisionmaking to get emotional when it comes to reasonable accommodations. Diffuse these situations and keep actions and conversations focused on data – including facts on what the employee is medically capable of doing, and on what the employee is required to do. Fact collecting is the most important step in your process. While collecting data and having parties agree on essential functions is vital, getting clear medical information from health care providers is more difficult. From vague medical reports to accommodation recommendations and unclear restrictions such as “no heavy lifting or prolonged standing,” learn how clear medical data can save time and money.
