Etiquette and reasonable accommodation are two critical foundation principles for successful workplace disability management. Master these principles to put employee inclusion into practice. - By Jeremiah Prince

One of the positive aspects of a rapidly aging population is growing awareness among employers that people with disabilities can be productive and bring a new perspective to the workplace. Good disability management in the workplace is founded on two broad principles: Etiquette and sensible accommodation.

Etiquette strategies foster inclusion and sensible accommodation enables the disabled to be fully productive. When these two principles are applied, people with disabilities are more fully integrated into the workplace and workforce productivity is increased. Etiquette strategies pervades the talent management process from recruitment to retention, and reasonable accommodation becomes an “Interactive Process.”
