The goal of communication is that the listener understands the meaning you are trying to convey. If listeners feel left out or offended by the words you use, they may not receive the intended message. By being aware of the way others might interpret the language we use, we can make sure that listeners feel included and our message is heard. This course teaches how to use inclusive language in the workplace to make our communication both more respectful and more effective.

The ADA and similar state and local laws require employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees and applicants with disabilities. The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) and many state local laws also mandate that employers provide reasonable accommodations for limitations related to an employee or applicant’s pregnancy. In addition, federal law and many state laws require employers to make reasonable accommodations to allow employees and applicants to practice or observe their religion. In this course, employees learn how to comply with these laws and your organization’s policies. Managers learn about their special obligations for ensuring compliance with these laws.

Employers face an increasing number of lawsuits for failing to comply with accommodation requirements established by the ADA and Title VII, as well as comparable state and local laws. The PWFA and similar state and local laws impose additional accommodation requirements related to employee pregnancy and childbirth.
