SPEAKER


Rodney Klein, EEO Trainer & Owner



PRESENTATION SUMMARY

Most organizations offer surprisingly little training on the ADA to their managers and supervisors.  On one level this makes sense.  After all, if you train managers on reasonable accommodations, then they may begin making accommodation decisions without consulting you, and that is a huge problem.  This makes the decision regarding what to tell our managers very confusing.  So, we often don’t tell them much of anything at all about the ADA.  The problem is that managers can often inadvertently make mistakes that cost employers big money, simply because they haven’t been adequately trained.  Managers don’t need to be experts in the entire law.  They just need to master parts of it. 


So, in this session we will discuss what managers should know about hiring, setting qualification standards, and managing employees with disabilities. We need our managers to feel more comfortable hiring and supervising people with disabilities, so we need to teach them what they need to know.

Learning objectives:

  1. Learn how the ADA looks at the pre-offer application process
  2. Understand the legal requirements for qualification standards
  3. Learn practical and legal tips for managing an employee with a disability
