Tuesday 06/16/15 –   Accommodating Workers with Hidden Disabilities

Objective:

Employees with disabilities are not always easy to recognize in today’s workforce. Many disabilities are “hidden” and an employee’s disability might be completely unknown to co-workers, supervisors, or customers. Are you interested in learning more about hidden disabilities such as Learning Disabilities or Mental Health Impairments? Would you like to know how to accommodate employees with hidden disabilities? Then, please join Dr. Suzanne Gosden Kitchen, Teaching Assistant Professor from WVU’s  Department of Management and Industrial Relations for a lively discussion on this popular topic, where you can discover classic and contemporary accommodation strategies for employees with hidden disabilities.
