Endocrine Disorder Accommodations

Meaning

Workplace adjustments, modifications, or supportive policies implemented to enable an employee with a diagnosed endocrine disorder, such as thyroid disease or adrenal insufficiency, to perform the essential functions of their job effectively. These accommodations are essential because hormonal imbalances often lead to systemic symptoms like chronic fatigue, thermoregulation issues, and cognitive fog, which fluctuate and impair performance. Providing these adjustments ensures compliance with anti-discrimination laws while supporting the employee’s physiological stability.
