For managers, HR professionals and in-house counsel alike, navigating complex disability-related accommodations/workplace modifications while ensuring operational needs are met can prove to very challenging. Getting it wrong can result in significant liability, be it in the form of a human rights application, a civil lawsuit, internal complaints and/or diminished morale.
Not to worry, we are here to help! Learn how to navigate these difficult scenarios with tact, sensitivity and awareness during our unique in-person masterclass, hosted by our seasoned employment lawyers. During this full day, hands-on, interactive workshop, you will not only learn about your legal obligations, but we will also provide you with practical tips and risk-management strategies. At the end of the session, you will have the chance to apply your knowledge through interactive, tabletop exercises based on real-life fact patterns. Participants will also receive handouts that can be used as reference materials when handling sensitive workplace accommodation situations in the future.
Space is limited so please RSVP as soon as possible to reserve your spot.
Attendees will be offered a light breakfast, snacks and lunch.
