Welcome to The Work Couch podcast, law firm RPC's brand new sparkly podcast, where we discuss all things employment.


Brought to you by the award-winning employment team at RPC, we'll be discussing the whole spectrum of employment law, with the emphasis firmly on people. Every other week, we'll be exploring those thorny HR issues that People teams and in-house counsel are facing right now and discuss the practical ways to tackle them.


Hosted by Ellie Gelder, senior editor in the employment, equality and engagement team at RPC, we'll explore the constantly evolving - and consistently challenging - world of employment law and all the curve balls that it brings to businesses today.


Not only will we be tapping into the expertise of our fabulous employment lawyers, we'll also from time to time hear from individuals about their lived experiences of the particular issue in question, from both employer and employee perspectives.


This is not just any employment law podcast. It's informal; we want to discuss topics in an accessible and engaging way so that you can digest it easily and come away feeling confident and motivated to address your people challenges.

Disability at work (Part 2): What is a “reasonable” adjustment? With Victoria Othen

Welcome to The Work Couch, the podcast where we discuss all things employment.

 

Host Ellie Gelder is once again joined by consultant employment lawyer Victoria Othen to talk about disability at work and what reasonable adjustments look like at each stage of the employment life cycle. In part two, which is packed with practical examples, they discuss:

 

  • Relevant factors when assessing the reasonableness of an adjustment;
  • Risks and exceptions relating to pre-employment health questions during the recruitment process;
  • Case law on reasonable adjustments in respect of performance and attendance management, and redundancy processes;
  • Reasonable adjustments to policies and procedures;
  • Low or zero cost adjustments; and
  • Victoria's top tips for employers to comply with their duty to make reasonable adjustments.

 

Listen to our previous Work Couch episode: Disability at work (Part 1): "Right to try work" and the law on reasonable adjustments.
