Overview: Human Resource (HR) professionals are key players in business organizations' implementation of the employment provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), which prohibits, among other things, discrimination based on disability in the workplace. HR professionals are involved with recruitment, pre-employment screening and testing, and the reasonable accommodation process, as well as benefits, performance management, disability leave, and other parts of the employment process. The purpose of this paper is to point out some places where the contribution of HR professionals can help business organizations create a culture and process that will facilitate the accommodation requirements of the ADA and minimize the likelihood of discrimination against applicants and employees with disabilities.
