Restructuring (non-essential) job tasks, also known as task modification or job redesign, involves adjusting or reallocating non-critical duties to better accommodate employees with disabilities or functional limitations. This accommodation helps create a more inclusive work environment by focusing on essential job functions while modifying or removing less critical tasks. By tailoring job responsibilities, employers can support individuals who face challenges with specific activities, improving productivity and job satisfaction. This approach benefits a wide range of employees, including those with physical, cognitive, or mental health conditions, by reducing barriers and promoting equal access to meaningful work.
Begin by identifying essential versus non-essential job duties through collaboration between HR, supervisors, and the employee. Modify or reassign non-essential tasks that present barriers while maintaining core responsibilities. Communicate changes clearly and provide ongoing support to monitor effectiveness. Review adjustments periodically to adapt as needed, ensuring the accommodation continues to meet the employee’s needs without disrupting team workflow.
