Reasonable Adjustments: A Manager’s Guide - July 2026

3. What is My Role as a Manager?

It is your responsibility as the manager to ensure that the reasonable adjustment is put in place. As a flexible employer we need to ensure that we enable employees who are living with a disability to fulfil their potential as far as is reasonably practicable. As a manager you can agree adjustments in the short term so that the employee can carry out their work effectively and perform to a high standard. This could include for example, starting later to avoid traffic.

Sometimes the adjustment may be less straightforward, or you may need further advice in determining reasonable adjustments. In those circumstances you can seek support from HR, Occupational Health and Access to work, as appropriate.
