HR BESTIES

ADVICE

Accommodations and Belonging

  • Proactively ask about accommodations during onboarding, rather than directly asking about disabilities.
  • Phrase the question thoughtfully, focusing on employee needs and comfort.
  • This approach shows care and consideration, especially for remote workers who might need specific arrangements for occasional in-person meetings.
  • Employees should also feel empowered to request accommodations, and if an employer isn't supportive, they might want to consider finding a new job.
  • Feeling accommodated and supported are key aspects of workplace belonging, which fosters mutual investment between employee and employer.
