Integrated Disability Management - Interactive Process Training

Under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act, employers are required to “engage in the interactive process” in order to assist workers in returning to work or staying at work due to an injury or disability. Do your employees understand their role in this process? At Pelletier & Associates we specialize in assisting employers in the Interactive Process and with over 25 years of disability management experience, we are well versed in employers' needs and concerns. We have created an employee training program to offer real world information to your employees on this important process. We offer guidance in an interactive setting on how to deal with questions and concerns that arise from the effort of job accommodation and the return-to-work process. Whether you are working with an industrially injured individual or someone who is disabled and seeking an accommodation to stay in the work environment, our training program offers instruction and step by step examples, so that you can feel confident that you have followed the spirit of the law.

Our training includes:

• Introduction to the Interactive Process
• Overview of the ADAA and the Fair Employment and Housing Act
• Specific California Regulations that relate to Disability
• Current California Case Law
• A Comparison of ADAA/FEHA Definitions of Disability
• A Review of Reasonable Accommodations and Essential Functions
• Job Description/Essential Function Job Analysis Development
• The Interactive Process – Steps/Documentation
• The Employer’s Responsibility

Our training programs can be tailored to your work environment, specifically in regards to the development of Job Descriptions and Job Analysis. If your organization is ready to tackle the Interactive Process, make sure that your staff is equipped with the knowledge they need to get the job done right!
