abstract: 'Introduction Timely and appropriate accommodations can help employees
who experience disabilities stay at work instead of exiting the labor
force. Employers can play a critical role in connecting such workers
with the accommodations they need. This qualitative study seeks to
inform policy makers who want to improve workforce retention outcomes by
uncovering factors that affect whether employers provide accommodations
to, and ultimately retain, employees with disabilities. Methods We
conducted semistructured interviews with a convenience sample of human
resources professionals in 14 Arkansas-based employers, yielding
detailed information on 50 cases in which an employee developed or
disclosed a disability. We analyzed the interviews using a grounded
theory approach and compared cases to identify key themes emerging
across subgroups of cases. Results Two organization-level factors and
four employee-level factors influenced employers'' efforts to accommodate
and retain employees with disabilities: employer resources; employers''
communication with the employee and other stakeholders; employee tenure;
employee work performance; active/sedentary nature of employee role; and
the severity and type of employees'' health conditions. Conclusions
Consistent with prior literature, employers with greater access to
resources and better ability to communicate generally made greater
effort to accommodate and retain employees with disabilities. However,
employers in the study did not deploy these resources and processes
consistently when making decisions about whether and how to provide
accommodations to workers with disabilities; employee-level
characteristics affected their actions. Policy makers should consider
intervention approaches that reach workers who may be overlooked by
employers with scarce resources.'
