RT @Xtel007: A6. My job doesn’t really have an HR dept. But my supervisor (who takes care of almost everything) is kind of aware of my health challenges, even tho I didn’t explicitly SAY it lol #LupusChat
#LupusChat @Lupus_Chat
RT @TiffanyAndLupus: A6: A6: Also, remember to ask about Workplace Accomodations. If your health needs require assistive devices, naps, healthy snacks, dark lighting, etc. your job is mandated to provide what you need to work your best. #LupusChat

RT @Lupus_Chat: Q6: Q6: What kind of protective laws and regulations are in place concerning health disclosures in the workplace and have you discussed them with your Human Resources department? #LupusChat https://t.co/qQD3fMTtPo
#LupusChat @Lupus_Chat
RT @Pippilotta08: A6 HR IS over a very large organization. Most communication is thru email. No real personalization makes for a very stressful process when you do have to disclose/use your paid benefits. I’d like to learn more about accommodations but don’t know where to turn #LupusChat

RT @iveyjanette_207: @Lupus_Chat A5. Yes and no. It's often been a very frustrating process to discuss with HR. Often,it seems like they could care less,and eagerly want to use it as justification for getting me fired. #LupusChat

RT @CaringForLupus: A4 Lupus pueden afectar a toda la familia. Explicar esto a un niño puede ser abrumador, porque muchas veces creemos que no lo entenderá, pero es importante compartir la información adecuada. Cada familia necesita juzgar por sí misma lo que su hijo puede entender #LupusChat
