To celebrate the anniversaries of the Rehab Act and ADA, EARN and the Job Accommodation Network (JAN) are hosting a discussion on the significance of accommodations in achieving the goals of the Rehab Act and ADA and how they contribute to creating inclusive workplaces. Some people with disabilities need accommodations for equal workplace opportunity and success at work. A transparent and coherent accommodation process is not only required by the Rehab Act and ADA but also is a salient part of cultivating an inclusive workplace culture. In this webinar, attendees will discover the role accommodations play in building an inclusive workplace culture; and learn how to employ effective accommodation practices that go beyond compliance.
Presenters:
- Tracie DeFreitas, Program Leader, Director of Training, Services, and Outreach, JAN
- Robert F. Blake, Deputy Director, Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity (ODEO), NASA, Johnson Space Center
- Jed Seifert, Co-Founder, Stakes Manufacturing
This webinar will take place on Wednesday, July 19 at 2:00 p.m. ET.
