Helping Organisations Make Better Decisions on Reasonable Adjustments at Work
CHATTERVATION 

Reasonable Adjustments are rarely straightforward.
Most organisations lack a clear structure for deciding what is reasonably practicable in real workplace situations.

Managers are often expected to make decisions in situations that are unclear, sensitive and under pressure.
Occupational Health advice provides input 
— but not answers.
HR provides guidance 
— but not always clarity.
The result is inconsistency, uncertainty and risk.

Chattervation provides a structured way to think through these situations and determine what is reasonably practicable.

The Chattervation Model™ 

A structured framework designed to support decision-making in workplace health situations.It helps organisations work through:
the situation itself
Occupational Health input
employee and employer perspectives
barriers and practical constraints
what is reasonably practicable.

This is not about finding perfect answers.
It is about making clear, structured and defensible decisions.


Reasonable Adjustments in Practice

Making decisions about Reasonable Adjustments at work is rarely straightforward.
Managers must balance:
Occupational Health recommendations
operational requirements
staffing constraints
fairness and consistency.

Understanding what is reasonably practicable requires structured thinking — not guesswork.
