Many of us at some point in our professional lives decide what type of information and how much to tell others. We may not formally sit down and consider this decision, but we nevertheless weigh the pros and cons of what we would want our colleagues to know about us. Researchers in this area (McGahey et al., 2014) describe this type of disclosure decision making as developing a plan for managing personal information (PMPI).
This workshop will provide resources and strategies to assist job seekers in developing a PMPI in employment, including assessing the need for and requesting reasonable accommodations.
Takeaways:
- Distinguish between disclosure and managing personal information
- Describe the advantages and disadvantages of disclosure of sensitive personal information in employment settings
- Apply strategies to assist individuals with managing personal information as related to employment
