Does a business need to know how an employee is differently abled to accommodate them?


Listen Later

This conversation started in the comments section of a closed group on social media where a young woman was sharing the challenges she was running into in trying to get her company to accommodate her. Unfortunately the HR person in her company was dead set that they needed to know and verify the employee's medical diagnosis before they could discuss accommodations.

I posed the question the Simply Summer (who is on the autism spectrum, is an abuse survivor and a a proponent for all differently-abled people) and  Mahna Campbell (aka Navbalsinder Sandhu) to get their take on how businesses could accommodate without violating HIPPA.

 

Summer has asked me not to share her contact info.
