We have published new guidance to help employers understand their legal obligations and the practical steps they can take to support disabled employees with hybrid working.
The Equality Act 2010 places a duty on employers to make reasonable adjustments, meaning they must take steps to remove, reduce or prevent obstacles faced by disabled staff. Making these adjustments creates an environment where staff can perform more effectively and achieve their full potential.
Our new guidance, which covers recruitment and all stages of employment, is designed for small and medium-sized employers. It explains the law and provides practical tips, such as the use of workplace assessment tools, to identify technology that can help disabled staff who work flexibly.
The guidance also provides conversation prompts to ensure managers foster a culture where reasonable adjustments can be discussed openly
