Reasonable accommodations can be pretty darn tricky. Not only do they entail time-intensive admin work (that can vary from state to state), but they also tend to be laden with legally nuanced and complex circumstances. Like, say… an ongoing performance issue. Or having to collect some seriously personal medical information. That’s some pretty intimidating stuff.

In this webinar, our VP of People, Melanie Naranjo, partners with Justine Abrams, Employment lawyer & Advisor, Ogletree Deakins talk through the ins and outs of employee accommodations, including: best practices to lean into, pitfalls to avoid, and what to do when an accommodation request overlaps with performance issues.
