About this adjustment

Structured daily routines are a key accommodation that provides employees with a clear and organised framework for their workday. This reduces cognitive load, promotes predictability, and improves time management.

A structured routine helps employees manage their tasks, appointments, and responsibilities by providing clear expectations for each part of their day. This accommodation is particularly beneficial for employees with health conditions that affect their memory, concentration, and ability to plan effectively.

For employees with conditions that impact their memory or organisational abilities, structured routines can create a predictable, organised work environment that reduces mental strain, supports cognitive functioning, and boosts overall job performance.

Structured daily routines provide significant support to employees with health conditions that impact memory, organisation, or time management. By offering employees a clear and predictable structure for their workday, employers can reduce stress, enhance productivity, and foster a more supportive and inclusive work environment.

Costs and funding

The cost of implementing structured daily routines is relatively low, especially if the focus is on creating simple schedules and using free or inexpensive digital tools.

Some costs may arise from specialised planning tools or software, depending on the needs of the employee.
