What is Reasonable Adjustment?

A change an employer makes to remove or reduce a disadvantage related to a worker's disability, as required by the Equality Act 2010, covering physical modifications, policy changes, and auxiliary aids.

Why it matters in hiring

Reasonable Adjustment comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
