Workplace accommodations Workplace accommodations, often legally mandated as "reasonable adjustments" under the Equality Act (2010), are important to ensure your workplace environment meets your needs. Some people may find it helpful to request reasonable adjustments from their workplace, such as:
• Having flexible working hours or remote work options
• Having quiet, low-stimulation workspaces
• Implementing written instructions and clear communication
• Using assistive technology and reminders
• Scheduling sensory or movement breaks
Who to talk to about workplace accommodations If you’re thinking about asking for adjustments at work, there are a few people who can help guide the process…

• HR (Human Resources) – they can explain your rights, help with formal requests, and ensure accommodations are documented properly
• Occupational Health – they may assess your needs and recommend specific adjustments based on your wellbeing and working style
