Book Description

St Lucie January 23, 1996
Reasonable accommodation is defined as any change in the work environment or in the way business is usually conducted that results in equal employment opportunity for an individual with a disability. With the Americans with Disabilities Act in full swing and more than 35,000 court cases on record, there is much to be done to get most companies into compliance.
Reasonable Accommodation: Profitable Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act was designed to provide those responsible for diversity and implementing the ADA with specific benchmark examples of how companies have provided accommodations that have had a positive impact on profitability, quality, employee and customer relations.
This masterfully written book covers many important topics dealing directly with the ADA. It also provides numerous technologies available that can greatly increase productivity and quality of performance for disabled employees, as well as a "who's who" of case studies including: AT&T, Boeing, Federal Express, Ford Motor Co., Bank of America, Digital Equipment, General Electric Co., IBM, Motorola, WAUSAU Insurance Co., Sears Roebuck, Philip Morris, and many more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Case Studies from Big Companies, May 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Reasonable Accommodation: Profitable Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (St Lucie) (Hardcover)
The first section of this book provides a ten-step process for implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act Criteria. The majority of the book is comprised of Case studies of different companies and what they have done to accommodate different disabilities as the goal of the book is to highlight profitable compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act. There is also a section with case studies for different rehabilitation organizations.
In the Appendix there is a very helpful section- ADA in Action: a Supervisor's Guide. This section provides an ADA Awareness Quiz, it describes "disability", and "essential functions of a job", and examples of "reasonable accommodation", plus, it gives you the do's and don'ts of the interviewing process and etiquette for working with people with disabilities.
I wanted examples of more accommodations at small business instead of the big expensive ones accomplished by the big companies.
