Course Overview

Organizations enjoy the freedom to design their frameworks, crafting roles that ignite engagement and drive meaningful contributions while cultivating unified teams that promote individual advancement and growth. Yet, when it comes to precisely detailing job functions—whether core or auxiliary—leaders often encounter a maze of ambiguity, struggling to reach the clarity necessary for genuine success.

In this CPE course, you will uncover vital techniques to ensure your job design complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), safeguarding both legal standing and organizational integrity. Furthermore, you will learn how to systematically document job functions in a manner that fortifies your company’s defenses against potential liabilities. By mastering these strategies, you will not only offer employees clear and defined expectations as they transition into new positions but also extend support during times of leave or personal hardship. Your leadership team will also acquire the necessary tools to guide and manage their teams with greater efficiency and understanding.

Major Topics:

  • Job Function Classification Methods
  • ADA Compliance in Design
  • Documenting Job Function Changes
  • Effective Job Analysis Techniques

Join this CPE Course to gain knowledge on designing ADA-compliant job roles and protecting your company legally while supporting employee growth and development.
