Getting Adjustments Right – 90 min Webinar

Reasonable adjustments that actually work. For HR and people teams.

Most organisations don’t fail on adjustments because they refuse them. They fail because the process is slow, repetitive, quietly humiliating, and resets every time a manager changes. Employees learn that asking costs more than coping, and the organisation never finds out what it is losing.

This webinar rebuilds the adjustments process around one rule: nobody should ever have to tell the story twice.

Duration: 1.5 hours (60 minutes training, 30 minutes Q&A)

Format: Virtual (unless otherwise arranged)

Price: £500 (no VAT). For audiences over 40, contact us for pricing.

Scheduling: UK time; lunchtime and twilight sessions available

The challenge

Employment tribunal cases involving neurodivergent conditions have risen sharply, and most arise from process failure rather than deliberate discrimination: slow responses, lost records, adjustments agreed and never delivered, performance processes started while the adjustment record sat unactioned.

Meanwhile most of what neurodivergent employees actually need is small and cheap: agendas, written follow-ups, sensory choices, flexibility. The expensive part is the re-justification culture around it. That is a process choice, and it can be unchosen.

What you’ll learn

The landscape. The Equality Act duty in working terms, who it covers, and where the real risk lives. Working knowledge, clearly badged as not legal advice.
What adjustments actually are. The everyday adjustments by need rather than diagnosis, and what “reasonable” means in practice.
The process that works. Five steps and one rule: ask once, record once, honour everywhere, including adjustment passports and service standards.
Where it goes wrong. The five failure points that create grievances and claims, audited against your own organisation live in the session.
Building it in. From individual accommodations to organisational standard: defaults, manager capability, and guarding the seams.

Who this training is for

HR and people teams, EDI leads, and the senior managers who own the process. Extends to a half-day working version auditing your own adjustments process against the five failure points.
