About this listen

On this episode of Work This Way, Tina chats with fellow hosts and Maynard Nexsen attorneys Jennie Cluverius and Fay Edwards, along with a very special guest, Bing the pomsky, a service dog in training. Together, they break down what employers need to know about service animals, emotional‑support animals, and ADA accommodation requests in the workplace. From navigating the interactive process to understanding what qualifies as a true service animal, Jennie shares case examples, common misconceptions, and the challenges that arise when safety, allergies, or operational concerns come into play. Whether you’re an HR professional or employer trying to balance employee needs with compliance obligations, tune in to hear how you can navigate one of today’s most increasingly common workplace accommodation issues.
