A common reasonable adjustment to support disabled employees is to provide workplace strategy coaching. Coaching helps the employee to develop practical solutions that will enable them to overcome barriers they may be facing at work including:
- Planning, prioritisation and organisation
- Managing time
- Short-term memory
- Managing stress
- Confidence building & assertiveness
- Taking notes and listening
- Spelling
- Numeracy
The aims of workplace strategy coaching are to:
- Ensure that employees are able to achieve their potential within their chosen career and role.
- Ensure that they can contribute creatively at work
- Raise productivity
- Reduce stress
For an employee to access this support they need to undertake an assessment with our occupational health team.
