Amy Epstein Gluck quoted in the ABA Journal about remote work and mental health issues

Pierson Ferdinand partner and Employment Chair Amy Epstein Gluck was quoted in the ABA Journal about remote work and mental health issues.

“During the pandemic, we’ve seen that many office jobs can be done remotely and that working remotely can be an effective accommodation for individuals with mental health issues,” says Amy Epstein Gluck, a founding partner in the Washington, D.C., office of Pierson Ferdinand. She represents employers, and her firm is fully remote.”

“Employers are going to have to really educate everyone in their offices, including their managers, about mental health issues in the workplace, how to recognize requests for accommodations when it’s not obvious, that people with mental health issues need to be accommodated and that remote work may be part of that,” Epstein Gluck says.
