ADA Basics: Support Employees With Disabilities

Description

This session will focus on Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) basics, as well as visual and hearing disabilities. Why? Because in 2023, the USA Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) released technical assistance documents to guide employers on ADA compliance, focusing on visual and hearing disabilities. With millions of individuals in the U.S. having visual or hearing impairments, it’s crucial for employers to understand and implement best practices for accommodation.

Agenda:

1. Gain a thorough understanding of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and its definitions of disability.
2. Comprehend the implications of the ADA on job seekers and employees with disabilities.
3. Learn best practices for accommodating employees with disabilities.
4. Explore real-life scenarios to better understand accommodation implementation.
5. Discover valuable ADA resources, including the ASKJan Network.
6. Empower yourself with actionable strategies to foster an inclusive and supportive work environment.
7. Familiarize yourself with the latest EEOC technical assistance documents on visual and hearing disabilities.
