Per #abalel panel: You want to avoid training fatigue, but it’s also important to be targeted with effective training of supervisors, HR, and c-suite to increase awareness of mental health issues and obligations.
Per #abalel panel: Simply because an employee does not have a primary care physician, or has a physician that is backed up with paperwork, does not mean employer can simply ignore #ada interactive process.
Per #abalel panel: “Invisible” disabilities are often difficult to identify (and accept), but are important to understand in order to avoid ignorance and stigma. Ers should consider training, resource groups, and listening to the needs of your particular workforce.
Per @KSonderlingEEOC: Employers need to develop appropriate policies to avoid mental health disability claims AND train employees (esp front-line mgrs) on appropriate responses to these issues. #abalel
Per #abalel panel: You can’t blindly rely on third-party administrators (“TPAs”) for employee disability/accommodation issues. Company is still ultimately responsible for legal violations by the TPAs.
Per #abalel panel: Even if employee tells manager “I’m about to tell you something, but I don’t want you to tell anyone,” the company is likely still on notice of the issue. Very important to train those managers about what to do in that situation.
