SHRMA Presents: The ABCs of ADA
Join us for a fun dessert social! We'll enjoy some yummy snack items followed by a great presentation by HR Annie!
Presentation Overview:
Providing reasonable accommodations is not just best practice; it’s the law. Beyond
the legal requirement to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with
disabilities, our workplaces benefit by creating a more knowledgeable and inclusive
workforce. Managers are key employees in the ADA process, and providing training
and tools for confidence in the process is essential to risk mitigation for organizations.
Learning Outcomes:
- ADA: What is it legally required, and how is it managed?
- The value of an inclusive workforce regarding accommodation
- The language of ADA: “qualified disability,” “interactive,” “essential functions,” “reasonable accommodation”
- Eligibility and length of protection
- Identifying situations when and how to engage in the process
- Leading with compassion and knowledge
- Success stories and demystifying that providing accommodations is costly &
- complicated
- Manager resources for next steps when an accommodation is requested
