Human Rights and the Duty to Accommodate

November 16, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

When it comes to employees with chronic health disabilities or family obligations, employers need to be mindful of their duty to accommodate

Human rights is a potential minefield for employers with more than 60% of all complaints relating to discrimination in employment.

This presentation will cover the proactive steps employers need to take to ensure they are properly accommodating employees’ needs to avoid future litigation, while ensuring they are protecting their organizations’ interests. In particular, we will review:

– The duty to accommodate in the workplace

– Accommodating employees on return from extended leaves of absence

– When and how to seek medical information from employees

– Best practices and practical tips

Join employment lawyer Kelsey Wheelhouse for a free workshop November 16 at 10:00am to discuss the proactive steps employers need to take to ensure they are properly accommodating employees’ needs in the workplace, while protecting the organization’s interests. This workshop is designed for employers of all kinds (big and small) and human resource professionals.
