In this episode 265 of the podcast I am covering a recent case decided by the Employment Tribunal where an employee was awarded compensation after the employer failed to make reasonable adjustments in the probation period.
The case of Ms Khorram v Capgemini emphasises the importance of effectively managing probation periods and the requirement to make reasonable adjustments for employees with neurodivergent conditions.
In this episode of the podcast I cover:
Employers need to ensure managers are trained and aware of the importance of following occupational health advice and making reasonable adjustments for an employee who is placed at a disadvantage at work due to their disability.
You need to have good probation processes and regular communctaion in place.
