What is Workplace Accommodation?
Workplace accommodation is the process of making required modifications to the work environment, job responsibilities, rules, and procedures to guarantee that workers with disabilities or special needs can execute their jobs successfully and participate completely in the workplace.
By removing obstacles that could otherwise prohibit people from contributing their skills and abilities to the organization, providing accommodation to employees aims to level the playing field.
Importance of Workplace Accommodation in Ontario
The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) requires employers in Ontario to make reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities. Employers are required under the AODA to take proactive measures to find and remove any hurdles that can limit the participation of people with disabilities.
This covers barriers relating to rules, processes, and communication as well as actual obstacles.
