When was the last time an employee asked for a workplace accommodation? For many employers, it’s a regular part of doing business. Common “reasonable accommodations” include:
- Adjusted job tasks
- Flexible or remote work options
- Improved accessibility
- Specialized tools or software
- New communication methods
- Reassignment or alternative supervision
The list goes on—and the reasons are just as varied. Today’s workforce increasingly expects employers to adapt to their life circumstances. And with the high cost of turnover, it makes sense to support your team in staying engaged and productive.
But here’s a different angle to consider:
What if you hired people who are deeply motivated to succeed and upfront about their support needs from day one?
That’s what happens when you invest in individuals from overlooked talent pools. Yes, some may need additional training—but that training is tailored to your company’s specific needs. You gain loyal, capable workers who are ready to grow with your team.
Forward-thinking employers are already making the shift. Instead of fearing the unknown, they’re embracing the opportunity.
