Course description
What is a workplace adjustment and why is it important?
Workplace adjustments enable staff identifying with disability to perform their role and address the impacts, if any, of their disability.
A reasonable adjustment is a type of workplace adjustment made to a job, an employment practice, the workplace, or work-related environment that can include:
- how someone works (e.g., use of different equipment)
- when they work (e.g., changes to ordinary hours of work) / patterns of work (e.g., job sharing); and/or
- where they work (e.g., changes to the physical workspace or changes to work location).
