ADA Compliance: How to Protect Your Organization and Avoid Costly Mistakes

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is filled with legal nuances that can trip up even experienced employers. Terms like “regarded as disabled,” “major life activities,” and “request for accommodation” have been at the center of lawsuits for nearly two decades—often catching organizations off guard.

Today, managers and HR professionals need a clear, practical understanding of how everyday decisions and interactions can impact ADA compliance.

In this 60-minute live webinar, you’ll gain actionable guidance on navigating the most complex and commonly misunderstood areas of the ADA, including:

• What qualifies as a protected disability under the ADA
• How “major life activities” are defined—and why the expanded scope matters
• The risks surrounding “regarded as disabled” and how to avoid this common pitfall
• How to recognize a request for accommodation—even when no formal request is made
• Key legal precedents that continue to shape employer responsibilities
• How to handle episodic conditions and those in remission

You’ll also learn how to apply these principles in real-world situations, including how to manage the interactive process and respond appropriately to employee concerns. For example: Are you required to offer flexible work arrangements when an employee reports that depression is affecting their performance?

By the end of this session, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how to ensure day-to-day compliance, strengthen your ADA policies, and equip your managers with the tools they need to make informed, legally sound decisions.
