Description

In this episode of The Strategic HR Show, Andy sits down with Rachel Shaw, President of Shaw HR Consulting, to discuss the growing importance of disability accommodations in the workplace. Rachel shares how she built her career in HR compliance and why creating inclusive workplaces is both a legal responsibility and a strategic advantage. The conversation dives into how companies can better support employees with physical, psychological, and neurodiverse needs, especially as the modern workplace evolves with remote work, return-to-office policies, and increasing accommodation requests.
