The JoyPowered Workspace Podcast

This week we're rerunning a 2023 episode on a topic we often get suggestions about: The Americans with Disabilities Act!

In this episode, JoDee and Susan discuss the ADA with experts Kim Dinwiddie and Jackie Gessner.

Topics include:

ADA's purpose, what it covers, and who it applies to
How to respond when leaders think it's unfair for an employee to have "special privileges"
How the increased focus on mental health affects employers in terms of ADA
What the interactive process is and how to navigate it
How hybrid and flexible work arrangements benefit both employers and employees regarding ADA
New legal requirements around disabilities and workplace accommodations
Where employers often fail to address accommodation requests
What employers should know to make them more comfortable about asking the right questions
What limits apply to workplace accommodations
Whether employers are required to provide time off as an accommodation

In this episode's listener question, we're asked how to make the best of having a micromanaging boss who doesn't take feedback well.

In the news, remote and hybrid work options remain a priority for new grads seeking jobs.
