Increasingly, the modern workplace faces challenges of diversity and employability, and there is a need to match workforce diversity, or workersandrsquo; own characteristics and choices, with employersandrsquo; organizational and business requirements. In this context, the notion of reasonable accommodation inevitably arises. Concepts such as andlsquo;adaptabilityandrsquo; and andlsquo;employabilityandrsquo; not only require workers to adapt to new labour market circumstances, but they are also directed towards employersandrsquo; duties to accommodate work and the workplace to the workerandrsquo;s situation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is a compilation of articles, which were originally presented as papers at the 2015 meeting of the International Association of Labour Law Journals hosted by the Institute for Labour Law of the University of Leuven.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhatandrsquo;s in this book: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIssues and topics covered include the following: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe scope of andlsquo;reasonable accommodationandrsquo;;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe definition of andlsquo;reasonableandrsquo; in reasonable accommodation;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003erecognized business requirements that may override the duty to accommodate;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ewhen employersandrsquo; neutrality policies to avoid accusations of discrimination may constitute indirect discrimination;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003euse of integration or re-integration strategies to accommodate disabled\/incapable workers;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003euse of andlsquo;exit gatewaysandrsquo; that enable employers to avoid liability in cases of disability discrimination;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ewhen employers must take into account of workersandrsquo; family lives; and\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ewhen an obligation to reclassify a worker exists.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eSixteen prominent labour and employment law scholars offer in-depth perspectives from labour laws of Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Sweden, Russia, Israel, Canada, the United States, South Africa, and Australia.
