Caregiver’s Compass * A Workbook for Navigating Workplace Accommodation

About This First Edition

This workbook was developed from real-world experience navigating workplace accommodation as a caregiver.

It reflects what the process is intended to be—
and what it can become in practice when clarity is missing.

This first edition was created to provide something simple, usable, and grounded:

• a way to define what is needed
• a way to stay aligned throughout the process
• and a way to recognize when something has shifted

It is not a legal guide.

It is a practical tool designed to help workplace employee caregivers:

• prepare before engaging
• stay clear during the process
• and move forward with structure and confidence

The goal is not to create conflict.

The goal is to support a process that is:

• clear
• accountable
• and grounded in health and safety

This is a first edition.

It is intended to be used, refined, and built upon—
with the aim of improving how workplace accommodation is understood and applied in practice
