Designed for HR practitioners and employment counsel, this two-part series delivers practical, informed guidance on navigating the full spectrum of workplace accommodation obligations. From post-pandemic medical and mental health requests to the highest-risk legal scenarios facing Virginia employers today, each session stands alone, but together they offer a comprehensive, defensible approach to accommodation decision-making:

• Stay ahead of the shift: Post-pandemic accommodation requests have changed. Learn to respond with legal defensibility and human care.
• Know the law that applies now: Both sessions address the specific statutes and rulings reshaping employer obligations today.
• Work through real scenarios with counsel: Practitioner–attorney dialogues translate legal analysis into the judgment calls HR actually makes.
• Spot the requests that don't look like requests: Learn when informal conversations trigger documentation obligations before a formal request is filed.
• Leave with tools you can use tomorrow: Walk away with checklists, decision frameworks, and documentation practices ready to implement immediately.
