About this event

Balancing Privacy, Accommodation, and Productivity with Care.

Join us for a powerful six-part webinar series designed to help HR professionals and leaders build more inclusive, accessible, and equitable workplaces for people of all abilities. Each fast-paced, 30-minute session focuses on a key moment in the employee experience—from hiring and onboarding to accommodation and respectful exits.

With a practical, real-world approach, you’ll gain clear strategies, actionable tools, and fresh perspectives to create a culture where everyone can thrive. Whether you’re just starting out or ready to deepen your inclusion efforts, this series will meet you where you are—and move you forward.

Not all disabilities are constant—and that can make support more complex. In this 30-minute webinar, we will explore how to navigate the unique challenges of episodic conditions such as mental health disorders, autoimmune diseases, and chronic pain. You’ll learn how to recognize when support may be needed, understand your duty to accommodate under human rights law, and navigate the fine line between privacy and performance. Walk away with practical, flexible strategies that help employees stay productive—without compromising their well-being.

At this event, you'll learn:

  • How to navigate the unique challenges of episodic conditions.
  • How to recognize when support may be needed,
  • Understand your duty to accommodate under human rights law.
