Over the past decade, employers have invested heavily in modernizing leave and disability programs; yet accommodation management often remains fragmented across HR, leave administration, and occupational health teams. As accommodation requests increase organizations are finding that disconnected processes create compliance risk, inconsistent employee experiences, and operational inefficiencies.
This session will explore why accommodations are emerging as the next frontier in absence and productivity management. Attendees will learn how leading organizations are moving beyond isolated accommodation processes to create a unified employee experience that connects leave, disability, accommodations, and return-to-work programs.
We’ll discuss the operational challenges employers face today, the growing intersection of ADA, PWFA, and leave laws, and the critical role of technology in enabling consistent, compliant, and employee-centric outcomes. The session will also examine best practices for measuring accommodation effectiveness and organizational impact.
