Understanding Federal Reasonable Accommodation: Empowering Employees with Disabilities

In this episode of Off-Balance, we’re diving into the essential topic of reasonable accommodation in the federal workplace. What does it mean? Who qualifies? And how can faith, compassion, and leadership come together to create more inclusive work environments?

With insights from both OPM and EEOC guidance, we unpack the legal framework, real-world examples, and common misconceptions surrounding accommodations for employees with disabilities. We also clarify a key point: accommodations are designed for employees themselves, not their family members.

Whether you're an employee navigating the process, a manager supporting your team, or a leader building a culture of equity and access—this episode offers both clarity and encouragement.

Topics Covered:

• What reasonable accommodation really means
• How to request one (and what employers must do)
• The difference between accommodation and personal preference
• Why reassignment is a last resort—but a real option
• Resources to help you walk this path with confidence

Tune in and learn how we can honor dignity and diversity in the workplace—without losing balance in faith, family, or business.
