In this episode, JoDee and Susan discuss the ADA with experts Kim Dinwiddie and Jackie Gessner.

Topics include:

  • ADA's purpose, what it covers, and who it applies to
  • How to respond when leaders think it's unfair for an employee to have "special privileges"
  • How the increased focus on mental health affects employers in terms of ADA
  • What the interactive process is and how to navigate it
  • How hybrid and flexible work arrangements benefit both employers and employees regarding ADA
  • New legal requirements around disabilities and workplace accommodations
  • Where employers often fail to address accommodation requests
  • What employers should know to make them more comfortable about asking the right questions
  • What limits apply to workplace accommodations
  • Whether employers are required to provide time off as an accommodation

    • In this episode's listener question, we're asked how to make the best of having a micromanaging boss who doesn't take feedback well. In the news, remote and hybrid work options remain a priority for new grads seeking jobs.
