This document serves as a structured method for individuals seeking modifications or adjustments to the standard work environment or processes at Amazon. It allows employees and prospective employees to formally communicate their specific needs stemming from a disability, medical condition, or religious belief. For example, a candidate with a visual impairment might use this to request a screen reader during the interview process, or a current employee with a physical limitation might require an adjustable workstation.
The availability of such a mechanism is critical for ensuring a diverse and inclusive workforce. It promotes equal opportunity and enables individuals with varying needs to contribute effectively. Historically, the absence of formalized systems often resulted in inequitable treatment and underutilization of talent. By providing a clear process, the company demonstrates its commitment to compliance with relevant legislation and fosters a supportive culture where individual requirements are addressed proactively.
