>Job Accommodations Request Survey
>Individuals aged 55 or older and need job accommodations are being 
>sought for a study by researchers at the Florida State University.
>
>You are invited to share your perceptions of factors related to 
>accommodation requests by answering a few questions about yourself, 
>your organization, and your abilities and emotions in the process. 
>This survey will take about 20-30 minutes.
>
>The first 100 participants completing the survey will have a 1-in-4 
>chance of winning a $25 gift certificate; and the rest of the 
>respondents completing the survey will have a 1-in-4 chance of 
>winning a $10 gift certificate. Moreover, you will be assisting 
>service providers and employers to learn more about how to improve 
>the job accommodation process for older workers, considering the 
>fast trend in aging workforce.
>The survey can be accessed through the following link:
