Seizures at Work Focus Group – Part 2

This time, we are looking for employers in Recruitment / Human Resources to share their opinions and experiences.

We’re putting together a small focus group to chat about some recent data we’ve gathered regarding employees who’ve had seizures at work. We’re interested in hearing your thoughts from a Human Resources perspective. We’ll be diving into themes like communication, accommodations, responses, and some interesting trends we’ve noticed. This isn’t about policies or legal stuff—it’s all about sharing ideas and experiences and the bigger picture. Your input will help us figure out how to better support employees who experience a seizure at work. We’d love for you to join us and share your thoughts!

The information collected will help us in putting together videos on the best practices in the event a person has a seizure at work. This is meant to be a just-in-time resource for employees and employers alike.

For more information or to be a part of this Focus Group, please contact Jesse at jesse@epilepsytoronto.org.

This Seizures at Work Focus Group is facilitated by Epilepsy Toronto’s Employment Services Department. We hope you can join us!

Seizures at Work Focus Group

We are looking for individuals living with Epilepsy, willing to share their stories about navigating seizures in the workplace.

This focus group will help us to gain insights on seizure experiences, from the employee side. We want to get a sense of what works well and what doesn’t work. We are looking for general information, not specific details; and all of the information collected will be kept confidential.

The information collected will help us in putting together videos on the best practices in the event a person has a seizure at work. This is meant to be a just-in-time resource for employees and employers alike.

For more information or to be a part of this Focus Group, please contact Jesse at jesse@epilepsytoronto.org by January 23.
