Every business wants to ensure its employees have what they need to perform at their best. For some applicants and employees with disabilities, accommodations can help to support job success. Accommodations are often easier to provide and cost less than employers think – in fact, 56% are no cost, and most have a typical cost of $300! Research shows that accommodations are low in cost and positively impact the workplace in many ways. Join EARN and the Job Accommodation Network (JAN) to learn more about the costs and benefits of accommodations in small businesses.

In this webinar, Tracie DeFreitas, JAN’s Director of Training, Services, and Outreach, will discuss the high impact and low cost of accommodations. Joining Tracie will be a small business representative with experience accommodating employees.

Participants will learn about:

• • The process of accommodating employees in a small business environment.
  • Resources that can help small businesses provide workplace accommodations.
  • Examples of low- or no-cost, high-impact accommodations.
  • Accommodation success stories and lessons learned from small businesses.

This webinar is 45 minutes and will feature a 30-minute question-and-answer session with the presenters following the discussion.

American Sign Language (ASL) and real-time captioning will be provided. Please request additional accommodations needed via the registration form below.
