Remote work is now the top requested workplace accommodation which are only expected to grow, with HR leading the entire process rather than individual managers, said Seth Turner, chief strategy officer at AbsenceSoft. “We’ve done a lot of talking about the fact you need to educate your managers on recognizing these requests and getting them to HR, because you don’t really want your managers going through the interactive process and making the accommodation, you want that done in HR, where they are trained to do that,” Turner said. The accommodation process is typically an interactive back-and-forth or negotiation. First an employee presents their condition with medical documentation along with the workplace issue they are facing and accommodations they’re requesting. Then HR can evaluate whether that request is reasonable and feasible for the organization, based on the role and responsibilities.?
