1. Introduction

Strategies for adapting duties to an employee include:

• job carving;
• job stripping
• job enrichment

Job carving is based on the fact that the tasks of a new employee are selected from
the palette of tasks belonging to various positions in the company. In this way it
arises a new position that corresponds to the skills of the employee. The other
employees of the company gain more time for other tasks, for which they have
appropriate qualifications or are more appropriate.

Job stripping involves the recognition of certain duties belonging to a given
position when they are too difficult for an employee because of his / her disability
(for example reading, carrying heavy objects). Instead the employee receives
additional tasks from his colleagues.

Job enrichment is about adding new tasks to the range responsibilities in a given
position in accordance with the employee's skills or to enable integration (for
example, if the position in question has limited contact with the rest of the staff, an
obligation to receive mail is added, which contributes to more frequent interaction
with other employees).
Improvements and reorganization are necessary to enable the candidate to
achieve good results at work.

The WISER should be able to determine the appropriate one tools, assistive
technologies, aids and improvements for people with disabilities. While some of
the improvements may require specialized technical equipment, e.g. for people
with hearing or sight problems, others are simpler, but also effective.

Improvements can include:
• help in organizing (symbols, photographs, colors instead of letters),
• help with orientation (diagrams, plans, task cards, to-do lists),
• technical tools (calculator, talking clock, voice recorder, etc.),
