Advocating for Workplace Accomodation

As a career development professional, empowering clients to advocate for their workplace accommodations is essential.

The process of negotiating workplace accommodations begins with educating clients on their rights and the accommodations available, whether they require adaptive technologies, flexible work hours, or specific environmental changes. Equally important is coaching clients on communicating their needs effectively and assertively, ensuring they articulate the impact of their accommodation on their performance and overall career growth. By providing the necessary tools and confidence, we help clients secure accommodations that align with their needs and position themselves as proactive, solution-oriented professionals within their organizations.

The Inclusive Workplace has developed some great resources to help you, as a career development professional, guide your clients through negotiating workplace accommodations.
