Absence Plan Design and Practices Benchmarking Dashboards

Both dashboards feature data from the DMEC Absence Plan Design and Practices Benchmarking Survey — which includes responses from over 1,100 companies. The survey is open, and we continue to collect new responses from organizations across a range of industries, sizes, and regions.
