ACAS: Making reasonable adjustments

Where an employee has a disability, an employer has a legal obligation to make reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act.

Sometimes, people who have long term physical or mental health conditions may not recognise themselves as having a disability.  However, they may benefit from adjustments at work. 

Taking a positive and practical approach to making workplace adjustments can help an organisation to:

• recruit employees from a diverse talent pool

• improve productivity

• retain employees

• create an inclusive and supportive working environment

• reduce the risk of discrimination claims

   

This training will help you develop confidence in holding conversations about and making reasonable adjustments for employees with health conditions.
