— Webcast Registration Open! Registration is now open for the Job Accommodation Network (JAN) webcast titled, “Stay-at-Work/Return-to-Work Accommodation Strategies for Enhancing Workforce Retention,” which will be presented on Thursday, May 22, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern. Stay-at-Work/Return-to-Work (SAW/RTW) programs that include reasonable accommodations support employees with injuries or health conditions, allowing them to stay on the job or return as soon as possible. Accommodation strategies such as modified and flexible schedules, job restructuring, transitional work, or reassignment can help employers retain key employees while keeping productivity on track. This training from JAN will offer valuable insights into the accommodation process and effective management of SAW/RTW situations, along with practical advice for navigating Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) related matters. ASL interpreting and real-time captioning are provided for all live webcasts. For more information about JAN webcast events, please read Frequently Asked Questions: JAN Webcasts.
