Dr. Elliott Lasser, Director of UMBC's Industrial/Organizational Psychology program, had the opportunity to sit down with Jeff Salkin of Maryland Public Television recently to briefly discuss accommodations for disabilities and religious observance in the workplace. The MPT clip is linked here.
His advice for seeking accommodation? Get ahead of it if you can. UMBC faculty, staff and student employees can learn more and request accommodation via UMBC's Employee Accommodation site linked here. If you have questions about disability and reasonable accommodation on the job, contact Stephanie Lazarus, Accessibility Manager via 410-455-5745 or slazar@umbc.edu.
