Frequently Asked Questions
Not all people with disabilities require an accommodation at work. Reasonable accommodations may be provided to qualified candidates or employees with disabilities on as needed basis. Accommodations are negotiated between employer and employee, as part of an interactive dialogue. Establishing a centralized accommodation program can streamline this process, and create a more disability-inclusive workplace.
When a person tells their employer they have a disability and it is tied to them as an individual, that is disability disclosure. People disclose disabilities for a variety of reasons, including to get a reasonable accommodation, to be open about who they are or as part of an employee resource group. Self-identification is a confidential and voluntary process in which you tell your organization, on a pre-approved form, that you identify as a person with a disability. This data is not tied back to any individual employee, but rather is used to gather diversity data for the employer.
