As a farm employer, do you know how to handle disability accommodation requests from your employees? If you aren't sure where to start or are wondering what the best practices are, this episode is for you.
In this episode, Eva and Bonita share important considerations for accommodating employee disabilities on the farm and ranch. You’ll learn what a disability is in the eyes of the law, how to engage with employees about their accommodation requests, and how an accommodation decision could risk a discrimination claim. We share 5 steps for proactively managing accommodations for your employees to create an inclusive, accommodating workplace at your farm or ranch to minimize legal and financial risks while supporting employee retention.
