Webinar Description
Many workers with long-term physical and mental health conditions struggle when deciding whether to seek support from their workplace. In making decisions, they weigh risks like the loss of privacy or reputation if they disclose any support needs, versus concerns about job difficulties and changes to work performance if they don’t receive support. Workers, workplace representatives and health professionals often report being unsure what workers should discuss and what might be helpful. This webinar discusses the development and evaluation of a new interactive support planning resource, the Job Demands and Accommodation Planning Tool (JDAPT) to answer these questions.
