Change in Ability to Work

The University of Michigan offers resources to faculty and staff who may be experiencing a change in their ability to perform effectively at work. In some instances this change may be related to a personal medical condition such as cancer or arthritis; a physical disability such as a change in vision, hearing or other sensory issue; or a cognitive, mental or emotional change such as a brain injury, depression, or a learning disability. Changes can be temporary or permanent.

Confidential assistance is available when there is a change to job performance that affects production speed, accuracy, or work behaviors. Staff work collaboratively with you to help provide the best opportunity for improving your work performance.
