Session 12: Disability Awareness & Accommodations

The word disability is an umbrella term that covers a wide range of conditions. Often the term carries a negative stigma about an individual's capabilities. This can make the decision to disclose disabilities in the workplace difficult. Join us for an interactive Q&A session with Dr. Mahadeo Sukhai to discuss workplace rights and the employer's responsibility to accommodate.  Topics include:

  • Workers Rights
  • Employer obligations
  • To disclose or not to disclose
  • What does it mean to ask for accommodations
