DMEC News
As we enter 2022, DMEC prepares to launch our second microcredential course on FMLA medical certifications and welcomes four new Employer Advisory Council members and two new National sponsors.

The Disabled Workforce: Using Technology to Create Systems

Up to 11% of employees in the U.S. are applying for vaccine exemptions, and many employers do not have the knowledge or capacity to manage the volume of requests. While some organizations will outsource this work, many won’t have that luxury. However, it’s possible to leverage the technology on hand to improve efficiency.

Leave Technology: Small Employers

Several software solutions have been introduced to help employers manage the complexities of leave and accommodation requests. Initially catering to larger employers, vendors soon recognized a need to create solutions for small- and medium-sized businesses with fewer than 1,000 employees that were affordable and simple to operationalize.

Featured Case: Responding to Vague FMLA Requests

FMLA regulations require employees to provide notice of leave to employers. Those seeking leave for the first time do not need to reference the FMLA but must provide sufficient information to demonstrate it is necessary. Recent court cases illustrate the need for employers to reevaluate leave request processes and provide clear guidance on criteria that substantiates requests.

Common Sense Compliance: Technology Supports Business Needs & Privacy

Technology solutions can make remote training more engaging, interactive, and even entertaining. Emerging services and technologies help employers manage an increasingly remote workforce securely and ensure compliance with federal, state, and local laws.

Employer Solutions: Balancing Technology and the Human Touch

The need for leave is purely human. Yet the process isn’t always as human-centered as we’d like it to be. As employers outsource their disability and leave administration, they need to assess whether their vendor partners combine predictive analytics with automation to ensure employee leaves are handled with clarity as well as compassion.

Engaging Today’s Workforce: An Ongoing Shift to Telehealth

72% of employees say their health, safety, and protection, as well as that of their families, is more important than ever before. Technology innovations such as telehealth, which enable employees to access care from anywhere, help them meet their health goals.

Integrated Absence Management: Hybrid Enrollment

The shift toward remote work has created more flexibility for employees and opportunities to work for companies outside their local areas. This rapidly changing workforce creates a need for continual education for new employees and ongoing enrollment options.

Absence Matters: A Key to Better Service

Technology and innovation are critical to building and maintaining an efficient and compliant claims practice. The automation of simple eligibility determinations, communications, and integrated processes can be a game changer for the health and longevity of a successful program.

Program Showcase: Finding “Magic” in the Claims Mix

Most disability cases — occupational and nonoccupational — resolve normally without intervention. But 10% to 15% of cases need additional attention to avoid becoming long-term claims. Organizations have developed tools — from simple paper-and-pencil lists to artificial intelligence (AI) applications — to identify potential outliers early in the process.
