Rather than trying to provide the same benefits and solutions for everyone, employers would be well served to speak to their employees and see what they value.

But the act also stipulates that businesses should provide support for disabled workers if requested. Reasonable accommodation can vary widely. For example, while 52% of accommodations are requests for leave, the remainder could relate to changes in the work environment, work schedule, or another physical barrier.
