Every company is empowered to design its own organizational structure by carving out engaging and compelling work, configuring teams, and supporting individual development and growth. Yet, when it comes to documenting the job functions both essential and marginal of each job position, leaders get confused and fail to do it “right.”
In this special training session, you will learn key topics in order to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as you design jobs. You will also understand how to document your findings in a way that protects your company. At the same time, you will provide your employees with clear expectations when taking on new roles, support them during leaves of absence or compromised personal/health situations, and provide your leaders with basic tools to manage their direct reports.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
This course will provide you with practical information to determine the essential and marginal job functions for various positions in your organization. More importantly, it will help to ensure that your documents and processes are compliant with the ADA while supporting your employees and applicants in functional and engaging ways.
