Navigating employment laws like the ADA, FMLA, and Workers' Compensation is essential for ensuring compliance and supporting your workforce effectively. This Course simplifies complex regulations, providing managers and HR professionals with actionable insights to protect both their business and employees.
Did you know that an estimated 15–20% of the global population is neurodivergent?
That’s right—millions of potential employees think, learn, and interact with the world in ways that challenge the “typical” mold—and bring exceptional talents to the table because of it.
From, autism and ADHD to dyslexia and Tourette’s, neurodivergent conditions are more common than you think—and more misunderstood than they should be.
This comprehensive course addresses the complex challenges employers face in navigating the intricate web of leave laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Workers' Compensation, and state-specific regulations. Participants will gain insights into legal compliance and best practices for handling the multifaceted landscape of employee leaves.
