• I'm highly allergic to my coworker's service animal!
• I need more bathroom breaks than company policy allows, due to my pregnancy.
• Wearing a beard is part of my faith. Can I be exempted from the grooming policy?

This 3-hour virtual training will teach you how to respond to accommodation requests involving religion, disability and pregnancy in compliance with federal EEO laws. Get the tools to confidently engage in the interactive process, determine undue hardship, as well as recognize and prevent retaliation.

This webinar will be led by EEOC San Francisco District Director Chris Green and his predecessor Nancy Sienko, who observes, "Together we've got decades of experience enforcing these laws AND training EEOC investigators on them."

Green added, "We can empathize, as managers who have fielded accommodations requests ourselves." Come for the real-world examples, stay for the opportunity to train with down-to-earth and experienced EEOC experts.

Cost: $300/per person
