Workplace processes are the steps followed for human resources (HR) practices such as hiring a new employee, reporting workplace incidents, or conducting performance reviews.

Some health-related processes relevant for employees with arthritis, joint pain, and back pain include what to do if an employee discloses arthritis or requests a workplace accommodation.

For employees: Written and clearly communicated processes lets employees with arthritis, joint pain, and back pain know that processes are in place to support them and what to expect from these processes.

For employers: Written processes act as a reminder for processes that may not be used often, are a communication tool for everyone involved, and can include relevant tools and resources (e.g., information about relevant benefits).
