- This roleplay video is part of the JAN Workplace Accommodation Toolkit at AskJAN.org/toolkit. The situation demonstrated in this video is accommodating an employee with non-apparent disabilities. It shows both ineffective and effective approaches.
First of all I would just like to express with saying that this is by far the greatest example of a workplace accommodation of how it can go wrong and how it went right. Employers are so worried about protecting themselves that they don’t feel a need to accommodate the employees because they feel like that employees are blaming them when it doesn’t matter who’s the blame or not the blame the main focus should be on taking care of the employee for a potential great success for the business. Such a perfect scenario this video should be used in training for managers and employees.
I will demand that it be included in the re-training of supervisors and managers.

This is incredible. I plan on sharing with all of my social networks, as those of us with ADHD need this type of advocacy!
Yes we do
Working with a disability can be hard but it’s not impossible. It may take having serious discussions with your manager on a regular basis to ensure that she or he remembers the value that you bring to the team. In my case, I think that is where I could have done a better job-selling myself to my manager on a regular basis. I thought my accomplishments, the quality of my work, and other measurable standards would remind my manager that I’m a valuable team member-but no. When you're perceived as an inconvenience to the team you can’t let the results of your work speak for you, you have to be your own cheerleader. This video will help with those difficult conversations.
So how do you do that? Other than your actual work performance?
@@sl4983 The fact is they don't care if your effective or doing well. The employer is more concerned with control and keeping all dynamics the same. I believe that is the point she is making. Performance and being effective should be what they vslue
This video helped so much! thank you for everything you guys do.
Good acting and informative video.
Thanks!
I’ve found the most frustrating thing about asking for accommodations is that both my employer and my doctor want me to come up with the solution. I don’t know!! I don’t even know what my options are!!
Not to mention that data shows that 70 % of those who could benefit from a reasonable accommodation would even speak up to ask for it. Most simply do not know it exist. My friend worked with her ADA/ADAAA disability/impairment for 16 years straight with her employer until l researched it for her and made them aware.
Check out the JAN Job Accommodations Network they may be able to assist you with information according to your disability.
I wished that I was treated with dignity and respect at PRL.😢😅 But inspite Disability Discriminations from Blyth, Monica, HR Sarah Bilton, District Mgr. Lennox and CEO Romeo, my sales exceeded my monthly sales quota. This credit is to my faith in God's favor, grace, and mercy. 😊
Actually this is a really good video on negotiating reasonable accommodations.
Managers don't like special cases. Honestly the lack of training and sensitivity is appalling and inhumane.
Exactly, and the lack of accountability that these employers don't have to be held too unless people actually fight for it. Its astounding
2022 ... Very helpful. Most H.R. departments are still floundering.
Working for state government, my accommodations being granted always depends on how agreeable my manager is. Literally changed managers at a job and they stripped me off previously granted accommodations
Wow, where was the personnel department? They should be governing the process to make sure the laws aren't broken
My employer keeps using teamwork as a reason not to accommodate me too. Also they added duties that can't be done from home AFTER I submitted my accommodation request.
Sounds like retaliation. Did you ever get resolution?
@@akriandurin151 yeah they fired me. My job now is so much better
i been working for over 15 years as a HVAC ,what happens when the doctor contracted by the company put a restriction on my application job , but then they told me i can have a second opinion and the second doctor cleared me from any disability but the companies doctor insisted that i have a disability when i already have a long time on my trade with not issue also the second specialist saying i’m ready to go , what happend ? one doctor say i have a problem , and another specialist saying i’m ok also already have 15 years experience in that trade, they want me to go to that meeting but i’m not disabled person because i been doing my job over 15 years with no restrictions and also a second specialist say i have no problem doing my job , how can we do this meeting with all this issues ?
Wait, so it's not our doctor that is supposed to come up with the reasonable accommodation ideas? The RA person does that?
Vocational Rehabilitation can help. they are in every county.
Yes, but it's not necessary according to the law. I found that sending the Dr. Accommodation request streight to HR much much better, that way you don't have to disclose your diagnosis.
Correct
@@biaanibeu4471 excellent
If the manager remove a person with disability from their site of work is discrimination? The employee didn’t ask for the change
I wish my manager even allowed me to talk, when I asked her for let me stay on the ground where I usually work and not to move me to top floor because I have knees and back pain due to cancer treatment, she yelled at me and said I should be ashamed for ask for accommodation and that I don’t have a disability(I’m a cancer survivor) she told another employee to hold her otherwise she will do something to me. She remove my working table out of the place. She is very abusive, she retaliate against me all the time I complained to HR let’s see what happens
my employer refused to even begin the process of job accomadations. Before i could even give them there doctors note with restrictions they sent me an email saying no we can not accomadate you!
A attorney took my case!
@@eliyahVivo Good luck to you!
Follow up with attorney. Any results?
@@marine0816 my workers comp case settled but the Employer refused to allow me to return to work. So I filed a complaint based on person with disability and now am waiting for the out come.
@@eliyahVivo wow, thanks for the reply. Good luck!!
Bad boss who just tried to ignore the situation bc she didn’t really care
This is so real
