Different people will need different types of adjustments – even when they have the same condition – dependent on the specific barriers they face at work. Adjustments can include:
- Assistive technology e.g. providing voice recognition software to someone with dyslexia
- Furniture e.g. providing someone with back problems with a specialist chair
- Hardware e.g. providing someone with arthritis with a different keyboard
- Working arrangements e.g. taking an individual’s disability into account in goal-setting
- Working environment e.g. providing a parking space near the entrance to the office for someone with reduced mobility
- Workplace strategy coaching e.g. working with an external coach to gain practical coping strategies/support around stress management, time management or concentration. This can include a co-coaching session with the line manager to jointly discuss and agree any support strategies. These sessions may be recommended to support employees that are neurodivergent or are impacted by peri/menopausal symptoms.

The Workplace adjustment is for all staff and are for an indefinite time.

At Fidelity International we seek to enable all colleagues, especially those with disabilities, health conditions and accessibility requirements to carry out their work effectively and perform to the best of their ability.

- Assessment: Different types of assessments are available, usually conducted in English. Requests for assessments in local languages can be accommodated with a third-party translator if needed.
- Report: After the assessment, the employee receives a detailed report with workplace adjustment recommendations. The line manager will receive a summary report for support purposes.
- Approval: Most recommendations will be auto-approved after a 2 working day feedback window.
- Implementation: Posturite will work with relevant partners to provide specialist equipment and software, as well as organize coaching and training sessions.
- Follow-up: After adjustments are in place, employees will be asked to complete a survey for feedback.

-    From launch in 2021, assessments have been requested and provided to 14 employees in Luxembourg, with positive feedback from them (we are not able to share details for confidentiality reasons).
