Episode 19- Disability Accommodations in the Modern Workplace with Rachel Shaw
In this episode of The Strategic HR Show, Andy sits down with Rachel Shaw, President of Shaw HR Consulting, to discuss the growing importance of disability accommodations in the workplace. Rachel shares how she built her career in HR compliance and why creating inclusive workplaces is both a legal responsibility and a strategic advantage.
The conversation dives into how companies can better support employees with physical, psychological, and neurodiverse needs, especially as the modern workplace evolves with remote work, return-to-office policies, and increasing accommodation requests. Rachel explains how organizations can move beyond simply “checking the compliance box” to building thoughtful, inclusive systems that improve employee experience and reduce risk.
She also highlights key trends shaping the future of work, including rising accommodation requests and the need for better internal HR resources. The episode wraps with practical advice for leaders on using data to build a business case and designing workplaces with inclusion in mind from the start.
