Overview

In today's diverse workplace, ensuring compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is more than just a legal obligation-it's a critical component of fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for all employees. Central to this is the Interactive Process, a collaborative dialogue between employers and employees aimed at identifying and implementing reasonable accommodation that allows individuals with disabilities to perform their jobs effectively.

The Interactive Process is a dynamic and ongoing dialogue aimed at identifying and implementing effective reasonable accommodation for employees with disabilities. It requires good faith efforts, open communication, and flexibility from both the employer and the employee to ensure that the workplace is accessible and inclusive, while also balancing the operational needs of the business.
