Disability Smart webinar: Adjustments

34 per cent of employees have not asked for adjustment because they fear their manager would treat them differently.

This 45-minute webinar on workplace adjustments hosted on Thursday 25 November 2021 by Business Disability Forum CEO, Diane Lightfoot with Hazel Leighfield, Senior Business Disability Partner and guest speaker, Microlink CEO, Nasser Siabi.

During this webinar, we discuss:

• Line manager confidence and encouraging people to ask for what they need
• What does reasonableness mean in practice? How do you decide if something is reasonable and how do you measure its effectiveness?
• Tailored Adjustments Plans – what are they and how should you use them?
• Trust, empowerment and productivity tools
• Onboarding and communicating with the wider team
• Progressing from individual adjustments to systemic change
• Some interesting and unusual workplace adjustments examples!
