What are some examples of accommodations that
would benefit all of my employees, including both
      those with and without disabilities?
        Offering “Flex-Time” and “Job-Share” as options to support
        the demands of employees’ lifestyles (e.g. family, medical, etc…).



       Instituting elements of “Universal Design” in the workplace.


        Providing ergonomic assessments and implementing
        reasonable accommodations.


        All of the Above.
True! But there is more…
Offering Flex-time and Job-Share are cost-
effective ways in which employers can
accommodate their valued employees;
talent you might otherwise lose to the
competing demands of family and medical
needs, travel or professional development
opportunities.

These strategies have been proven to
maximize efficiency and increase
productivity in the workforce, while
improving the morale of workers and
reducing employee turnover.

The intent of universal design is to
simplify life for everyone by making
products, communications, and the
built environment more usable by
as many people as possible at
little or no extra cost.

Universal design benefits people of
all ages and abilities.

Good idea…
Ergonomics commonly refers to designing work
environments for maximizing safety and efficiency.


Companies once thought that there was a bottom-line tradeoff between safety and
efficiency. Now they embrace ergonomics because they have learned that designing a
safe work environment can also result in greater efficiency and productivity.

Recently, U.S. laws requiring a safe work environment have stimulated great interest in
Ergonomics - from ergonomic furniture to ergonomic training. But it is in the design of the
workplace as a whole where the greatest impact can be seen for both safety and efficiency.
The easier it is to do a job, the more likely it is to see gains in productivity due to greater
efficiency. Analogously, the safer it is to do a job, the more likely it is to see gains in
productivity due to reduced time off for injury. Ergonomics can address both of these issues
concurrently by maximizing the workspace and equipment needed to do a job.

 CORRECT!
Incorporating policies and practices such as “Flex-Time”, “Job-
Share”, and “Universal Design” into your physical work environment
and work culture will increase the efficiency, productivity, and morale
of your employees.

Any or all of these strategies can be utilized to promote a more
accessible and accommodating workplace that attracts and keeps
talented workers and reduces employee turnover.

Network by clicking here.
