Summary: TrainHR, a leading continuing professional education training provider for the Human Resources industry, will organize a webinar on July 18. The topic is, “How to Conduct an ADA Discussion”. Teri Morning, President, Teri Morning Enterprises will be the speaker at this session. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: This training session is meant to help participants develop a process to handle Americans with Disabilities (ADA) requests respectfully, efficiently, discretely and expeditiously. The difficulty with putting a very effective ADA plan begins with making a list of diseases and disabilities each employee has. In ascertaining this; HR has to do a tightrope walk, because probing beyond how much the employee wants to reveal can amount to intrusion of privacy and can lead to potential lawsuits. On the other hand, not taking down details can deprive the employee of benefits that would have accrued to her if the process was more open. This is why employers need to implement a process that allows them to meet obligations to involved parties and to carry out these conversations confidently. Several rules and regulations state that employers should not make accommodation conversations any more difficult than warranted. So, it is best for the organization’s HR to document conversations related to ADA declaration and coverage. This session will give participants a proper understanding of how to traverse this delicate area. The speaker will cover the following areas during this discussion: o How the ADA Amendments Act changed how HR handles reasonable accommodation requests. o How much medical information should you gather, if any? o What about mental impairments that are hard to get a handle on o When an impairment can be a safety threat o How much constitutes "unreasonable", o When is your accommodation not enough o Documenting the discussion o Following up on accommodations o What you can do if an employee won't cooperate o Handling impairments that are increasing in severity ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When: July 18, 10:00 AM PDT 01:00 PM EDT ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By whom: Teri Morning is an MBA, MS, SPHR, and SPHR-CA; and is President, Teri Morning Enterprises She calls herself her organization’s CEO, its Chief Everything Officer!
