Gli accomodamenti ragionevoli come “leva” per il benessere lavorativo delle persone con disabilità

Abstract

This paper examines the role of reasonable accommodation in the process of workplace inclusion for persons with disabilities, highlighting their preventive function and their central importance within the framework of anti-discrimination protection. The analysis focuses on the main practical challenges associated with the implementation of this legal instrument, stemming both from the flexible nature of the relevant regulatory framework and from the need to balance the effective protection of workers with disabilities with the organisational and productive requirements of employers. In this context, particular attention is devoted to the duty to provide reasonable accommodation as a means of ensuring the effective implementation of the principle of equal treatment, considering the evolution of the concept of disability according to the biopsychosocial model adopted by Legislative Decree No. 62/2024. By emphasising the interaction between individual conditions and environmental barriers, this approach strengthens the role of anti-discrimination law in promoting substantive equality and the full participation of persons with disabilities in working life.
