Managing the ADA
With the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), organizations must now strategically approach ADA compliance at a more intensive level. The ADA has greatly expanded the definition of who is a person with a disability, which means that millions of additional workers now have rights and protections under the act.
In light of the ADA's expanded scope, employers need to refocus to determine the essential functions of jobs, qualification standards, and how the reasonable accommodation process is viewed and managed.
This practical interactive course helps organizations maneuver: the complexities of the expanded ADA; managers’ roles in responding to disability-related issues and requests; and the interactive process.
Manager level and HR-focused versions are available.
