Description
The application and disclosure processes for employees with disabilities changed in 2024, and many employees and supervisors are experiencing the interactive accommodation process for the first time. During this interactive session, participants will review the new application and disclosure processes in Workday, the basics of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the steps in the interactive accommodation process.
