Accommodation and return to work: Supporting your employees
In a return to our earlier session in April, this Webinar will continue our discussion on accommodation strategies for employees that are struggling at work and also those that are in the process of returning to work.
In this session, we’ll share best practices and communication strategies, and utilize the variety of questions received from our previous session to guide our discussion and provide the answers to make your organization stronger.
