An employee says they are having trouble getting to work on time because of a medical condition. Another asks for a stool because standing all day has become difficult during pregnancy. Are these accommodation requests? What should you do next?
Join ESI as we welcome back Marina Guerra from the EEOC for a practical discussion on how employers can recognize accommodation requests, understand their obligations, and navigate the interactive process with confidence.
Workplace accommodation requests can create uncertainty for managers, supervisors, and business owners. A delayed response, inconsistent process, or inappropriate question can increase compliance risk and damage employee trust.
This session will provide practical guidance employers can use immediately when responding to medical, disability-related, pregnancy-related, or workplace limitation concerns. You will leave with a clearer framework for identifying requests, engaging employees appropriately, and managing the process with consistency.
This webinar is ideal for anyone responsible for managing people or responding to employee concerns. If your role includes supervision, HR responsibilities, compliance oversight, or leadership decision making, this session will provide valuable guidance.
Attendees typically include HR professionals, managers, supervisors, executives, business owners, compliance officers, and operations leaders who play a role in handling workplace issues.
The session will begin with an overview of how accommodation requests may arise in the workplace, including examples of informal requests that employers may not immediately recognize.
Marina Guerra will then discuss employer responsibilities under the ADA and PWFA, including the interactive process, documentation considerations, and how to evaluate potential accommodations.
The webinar will also cover common mistakes employers should avoid, practical best practices for responding to requests, and how to create a consistent internal process for handling accommodation-related concerns.
By the end of the webinar, you will have a stronger understanding of how to recognize accommodation requests and respond with confidence, consistency, and compliance.
