Reasonable Accommodation Dialogue

Meaning

The Reasonable Accommodation Dialogue, often clinically referred to as the interactive process, is a legally mandated, good-faith communication exchange between an employer and an employee with a recognized disability to determine appropriate, effective workplace modifications. This essential dialogue ensures that the specific functional limitations resulting from a chronic condition, such as a fluctuating endocrine disorder, are thoroughly understood and that necessary, non-disruptive adjustments are implemented. This process is the operational core of anti-discrimination employment laws and supports sustained professional capacity.
