Examples of reasonable workplace adjustments

Adjustments are usually small and specific. The useful question is what conditions let someone do their best work.

Communication

Written follow-ups after verbal briefings; agendas in advance; one clear channel for requests instead of several.

Environment and time

Noise-reducing headphones; a quieter or more predictable desk; flexibility over start times; protected blocks for focused work.

Task structure

Breaking large pieces into defined stages with checkpoints; agreeing priorities explicitly rather than leaving them implied.
