We interviewed over 100 Human Resource executives and learned that many HR practitioners are experiencing accommodation fatigue. 

The vast majority of HR’s time is spent managing accommodations related to issues such as conflicts with supervisors or an employee’s inability to maintain regular and reliable attendance. Given the sliver of time these HR professionals have left, when they meet someone who is significantly disabled, they sometimes assume the worst: that they will not be able to find a reasonable accommodation for them.

The burden of researching and understanding options may fall to the disabled person, who must know how to accommodate their particular restrictions and teach others how to do that.

Book a demo to see for yourself how much time and money your organization is potentially spending on managing accommodation requests.
