IMPLEMENTING REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION EFFECTIVELY

Navigating the Interactive Process Without Increasing Legal Risk

The Desert Communities EAC is a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping California businesses informed on workforce laws and human resource issues.

Missteps in the interactive process can quickly lead to claims involving discrimination, retaliation, or failure to accommodate. This session provides practical, real-world guidance to help employers confidently manage accommodation requests while staying compliant with California and federal law.

Attendees will learn:

• How to properly engage in and document the interactive process

• Identifying reasonable and effective accommodations

• Common pitfalls that lead to liability and claims

• Best practices for balancing employee needs with business operations
