ADA and Reasonable Accommodation Strategies for Changing Times
Wednesday, August 13 at 2pm EST
Speakers: Chaz Billington and Hannah Mulkey
Mastering the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires not only meeting legal requirements but enriching the employee experience. The ADA is a complex law with numerous rules and guidelines that make it easy to make a mistake. Complying with legal requirements and providing reasonable accommodations protects against legal liability and improves inclusivity, productivity and employee satisfaction, all of which contribute to attracting and retaining talent.
In this 60-minute webinar, attorneys Chaz Billington and Hannah Mulkey of Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease will discuss key aspects of ADA compliance and effective strategies to address accommodation requests. They will also look at what changes in federal policies mean for employers and how HR can confidently uphold ADA standards while fostering an equitable and welcoming workplace.
Attendees will learn:
- Key challenges of the ADA and reasonable accommodations employers face today
- How to adapt compliance practices to rapidly evolving federal and state requirements
- Effective ADA compliance approaches that support all employees, whether onsite, hybrid or at remote locations
- And more!
