Many workplace adjustments cost little or nothing. Here are five to start with.
1. Write it down. After a meeting or a verbal request, send a short written summary: what, by when, what matters most.
2. Fewer, smaller meetings. Large meetings with many people are tiring for many. Share the agenda in advance and say whether attendance is needed.
3. Quiet time. Agree on focus hours without messages or calls. Allow headphones.
4. Warn before changes. Last-minute changes are hard for many people. When a change is needed, explain what changes and why.
5. Use what you already have. Many office tools already include live captions, read-aloud and dictation. Check before you buy anything.
