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.
