STRENGTH IN COLORS
A red ribbon represents people with physical disabilities, in the same way a pink ribbon denotes breast cancer awareness. Other ribbon colors include gold, white, blue and green; all various disabilities. The Army aims to provide reasonable accommodations for those with disabilities such as assistive technology, modified work schedules or removal of physical barriers.

Unfair treatment at work; unmanageable workload; unclear communication from managers; lack of managerial support; and unreasonable time pressure. Gallup also notes that how employ- ees experience their workload has a stronger influence on burnout or stress than the actual number of hours worked.
To reduce occurrences of job burnout, Gallup recommends three strategies: Ensure that employees are engaged at work; ensure the organization actively supports employee well-being; and ensure that employees are surrounded by a culture that celebrates each person’s strengths.
Supporting employee well-being includes providing employees the tools they need to do their job. Standard tools include desks, computers, policies and work schedules.
“Some individuals may need different tools, or modifications to policies, the work environment or the manner or circumstances under which a job is usually performed,” Salak said. For exam- ple, these accommodations can include assistive technology, sign
language interpretation, modified work schedules or removal of physical barriers.
She explained that reasonable accommodation policies are governed by three laws:
• Te Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which governs accom- modations for people with disabilities.
• Te Pregnant Workers Fairness Act of 2021, which governs accommodations for pregnancy, childbirth or medical conditions related to pregnancy and childbirth.
• Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which governs accommodations for sincerely held religious beliefs or practices.
Effective accommodations mitigate or work around any physical, cognitive or other limitations that individuals may have, enabling them to “apply for a job or enabling an employee to successfully perform the functions of the job held or desired,” she said.
