Accommodations are any adaptations or adjustments that enable an employee’s function and participation in the workplace. Accommodations reduce or eliminate barriers, resulting in an equitable and accessible workplace for employees. 

Examples of Accommodations include:

• Communication: Masks with a clear panel, closed-captioning
• Adaptive Equipment, Technology, and Infrastructure: Ergonomic furniture, voice-to-text software, accessible parking
• Modified job duties: Limiting tasks based on physical and/or mental restrictions (e.g. limiting lifting over 50 lbs)
• Modified scheduling: Reduced working hours, hybrid work schedule
