Join us for our first Member Insights session focused on the transformative power of Reasonable Accommodations (RAs) in the workplace! Delivered by Chamber Member Mary Finn, MD of Connect4Work, the session is designed primarily for SMEs, but is open to larger organisations and will help empower you to navigate the complexities of employee well-being and retention effectively.

Discover how RAs can benefit individual employees and create a more inclusive environment for your entire team. We'll explore the intersection of professional and personal pathways, highlighting how supporting employees on their journey can lead to enhanced job satisfaction and productivity.

You'll learn strategies for converting absence into attendance, fostering psychological safety, and proactively preventing crises. The session aims to equip you with the knowledge and tools to support your employees or colleagues returning to work, even if you do not have any current absenteeism, you may in the future!

Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your organization's approach to employee support and retention.

The session will cover the following:

• What are RAs and how can they be used to the benefit of an employee – and the wider staff team
• It ensures the inclusion of all staff as we all navigate the dual pathways in life and how they intersect with each other ie the employee pathway and (private) individual pathway
• How can RA boost employee retention
• Converting absence to attendance
• Psychological safety
• Crisis prevention through proactive strategies
• Aimed primarily at SMEs who may not have the resources or experience of supporting an absent employee return to work – also open to larger organisations.
