Navigating Disability Accommodations in the Workplace with Michelle Raz

Is it really okay to ask for accommodations at work when it comes to function challenges like ADHD, which is actually recognized as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act? And as an employer, how do you address those concerns? We’re going to talk about that on this episode of The Workforce Link Podcast.  We’re going to explore the various ways in which employers can provide reasonable accommodations to support their team members with today’s guest, Michelle Raz. Michelle is a career specialist & coach, owner of Razcoaching.com, author of Happiness+Passion+Purpose, and Co-founder of Thrivister.com, an academic coaching company for high school and college students. As a Board-Certified Coach, she uses her expertise with executive functioning challenges to help people find their purpose and success in the workplace through the lens of ADHD.  We’re also going to cover why it’s essential to establish an open and non-judgmental line of communication between employers and employees. So whether you’re an employer looking to make adjustments to better support your staff, or an employee seeking guidance on how to communicate your needs effectively, this episode is for you.
