Englisch term

(job) accommodations

Englisch > Deutsch Wirtschaft/Finanzwesen Sozialwissenschaften, Soziologie, Ethik usw. Corporate Policies paragraph
Hi,

This term appears in a paragraph of a corporate (ethics) policy. The context is:

"Job Accommodation Requests [title of paragraph]
ABC is a contractor for many state, local and federal entities and complies with all related statutes. Use this link for contract verifications or other requests related to US Affirmative Action and equality-related regulations. ABC is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to the physical and/or mental limitations of qualified applicants and employees. Any requests for accommodation or change to a job or assignment based upon medical needs should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by an HR Policy Compliance Manager"

I'm trying to find a concise term for "(job) accommodation" in German in this context.

Any suggestions/ideas welcome - thanks!
Gabriele

Hilfsmassnahmen

"Job accomodation" or "provide (reasonable) accodomodation" is a key term in ADA. It means the employer has to make reasonable efforts to help disabled people. It covers a lot of things: making the offices accessible for the disabled, provide technical aids, provide part time work etc.

"provide reasonable accommodations" can be translated as "wirksam in den Betrieb eingliedern", "durch zumutbare Hilfsmassnahmen wirksam in den Betrieb eingliedern"

You could use " Hilfsmassnahmen"

Anpassungen

This is what makes sense to me in the given context. I'm not 100% sure if it's the best solution but it might be taken into consideration.
Peer comment(s):

agree Aniello Scognamiglio (X) : they say "accommodation or change" (Anpassungen bzw. Änderungen).
