But the strongest organizations know that a successful interactive process begins long before legal counsel gets involved. In this session, we'll look at the role HR plays in handling accommodation requests. You'll learn how to guide managers through conversations, document the process clearly, and create a consistent approach that supports employees while reducing risk.
