2. Notify the appropriate contact
3. Provide concise information about needs without unnecessary medical details
4. Engage in an interactive discussion to explore options
5. Agree on an accommodation plan and timeline

Documentation and Follow-Up

Who is Involved

The employee, supervisor, and HR typically participate, with additional input from safety or IT if needed. The process should be fair and timely.
