Community
Connect to colleages and Your purpose
The DMEC Community supports human resources professionals who have a focus on absence and disability leave management. Find your colleagues, find your purpose, and work to make changes that impact the people you support in your organization.
DMECommunities, our online networking groups, provide DMEC members with a welcoming and professional environment where they can directly connect with industry peers, ask/answer questions, share resources, seek feedback, and obtain absence and disability management information.
Whether you’re seeking an integrated absence management (IAM) position or recruiting new staff for your organization, the DMEC Career Center is your resource for relevant job listings and qualified candidates.
The Employer Advisory Council (EAC) supports our mission by providing strategic advice, feedback, and recommendations on DMEC programs and resources.
The Editorial Advisory Group (EAG) helps guide DMEC’s editorial content — ensuring that the organization provides valuable and timely best practices and strategies for absence and disability management professionals.
