Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) Business Sense Newsletter | Planning for Performance Management—for All Employees

Excerpt:  “All employees need feedback on their job performance, both when things are going well and when there’s room for improvement. However, managers sometimes exclude employees with disabilities from honest performance management discussions because they are uncomfortable or worried about violating disability-related laws or regulations. Recognizing that this practice puts employers and employees at a disadvantage, the Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability Inclusion (EARN) offers a centralized webpage on inclusive Performance Management for employees with disabilities. It explains that employers should have the same performance expectations for people with disabilities that they do for all employees and presents tools and resources to encourage professional development.”
