Work Environment Modification

Meaning

Work Environment Modification refers to any physical, structural, or equipment-related alteration to the workspace or facility that is deemed necessary to enable an employee with a chronic medical condition, such as a complex hormonal disorder, to effectively perform the essential functions of their job. These modifications are tangible changes designed to remove physical barriers or mitigate environmental triggers that exacerbate physiological symptoms. It is a key component of a reasonable accommodation strategy.
