this is the question...What are some measures a company can take to reasonably accommodatepeople with disabilities, or those with a known drug abuse problem,and how does the simulation demonstrate these? However, the only part I don't understand is the last. How do I simulate and demonstrate these on paper? PLEASE HELP!
I assume you read or saw a simulation (dramatization) of this problem.
The assignment is asking you to tell how this dramatization showed how a company can accommodate people with disabilities or a drug abuse problem. I don't know what was in the simulation, but many grocery stores are hiring mentally challenged people to carry out groceries. A deaf employee stocks shelves at night. Wheel-chair-bound employees are greeters or hold desk jobs. They make wonderful employees and the customers love them.
As for the company's accommodations -- the mentally challenged employees will have to have a more thorough and longer training period than other personnel. The physically challenged will need a wheel-chair accessible work station and bathroom.
To simulate and demonstrate measures that a company can take to reasonably accommodate people with disabilities or those with a known drug abuse problem on paper, you can follow these steps:
1. Research and understand the different measures a company can take to accommodate these individuals. Some potential measures include:
- Providing assistive technologies or making physical modifications to the workplace to accommodate disabilities.
- Offering flexible work arrangements or modified work schedules to accommodate specific needs.
- Providing training and education to employees and supervisors on disability inclusion and drug abuse prevention.
- Ensuring non-discriminatory hiring and promotion practices.
- Implementing employee assistance programs or referral services for those with drug abuse problems.
2. Create a simulated company scenario on paper. Consider factors such as the company size, industry, and type of jobs available to make the simulation as realistic as possible.
3. Identify characters within your simulated company who have disabilities or drug abuse problems. Provide details about their specific conditions or situations.
4. Describe the accommodations and measures that the company can take to reasonably support these individuals. Explain how each measure aligns with the respective disability or drug abuse problem.
5. Provide written explanations for each measure and its purpose within the simulation. This might include a description of the potential benefits to the individual, the company, and other employees.
6. Create scenarios where the company implements these measures. Describe the situations, challenges, and outcomes that arise from accommodating individuals with disabilities or drug abuse problems within your simulated company.
7. Finally, analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of these measures in meeting the needs of individuals with disabilities or drug abuse problems and promoting a more inclusive and supportive work environment.
By following these steps and using written descriptions, scenarios, and evaluations, you will be able to simulate and demonstrate the measures a company can take to accommodate individuals with disabilities or drug abuse problems on paper.
