Non-Integrated Disability Management Services

Federal Leaves, State Leaves, ADAA, STD, LTD, Client Specific Leaves, and Workers Compensation – How does it all fit?

In a rapidly changing landscape, having a reliable Integrated Disability Management (IDM) program is essential for managing compliance and concurrent leaves. Effective IDM solutions help reduce absenteeism and support employees’ swift, safe return to health and productivity. Comprehensive integrated disability management not only ensures adherence to regulations but also streamlines the management of disability and absence, promoting a healthier and more productive workplace.

A non-integrated disability management program presents several hurdles to this goal:

  • Two or more partner contacts, for both the HR team and Risk Teams, as well as employees with concurrent disability claims

  • Entitlement between lines of business can often overlap, making resolution between vendors time consuming and inefficient

  • Multiple forms containing identical information may have to be filled out and sent to various vendors

  • Employees dealing with multiple sources of information, which may conflict due to inconsistency of messaging

  • Data is housed in multiple systems, making actionable data able to be leveraged for impactful change in safety, ergonomics, or benefits much more difficult to obtain
