Reliable transportation is a key to stability, employment, and independence—and we’re proud to be part of Jordan’s success! 💼

Here are some steps on how employees can request accommodations from their employer!
💙Disclose your disability and identify needs: let your employer know what you have trouble with and how it affects your ability to do your job effectively
💛Suggest solutions if an accommodation doesn’t get approved: be flexible and open regarding accommodations
💙Be engaged in the process: work with your employer to discuss possible accommodations and find a solution that works for everyone
💛Document the request: keep a written record of each request and all communication with your employer
💙Application and monitoring: once the accommodation is agreed, make sure that it is applied correctly and monitor if it works for you
💛Seek further assistance if needed: if you have any difficulties, consider finding guidance from HR or the Job Accommodation Network (JAN)
