Program Showcase: A Strategic Opportunity for Cross-Functional Collaboration
As more employers recognize the link between employee health and the bottom line, they seek programs that prioritize safety, healthy work design, and injury and illness protection.

Program Showcase: Improper Medical Documentation
When faced with litigation, employers can support decisions about leaves of absence through detailed and complete case management documentation that is based on a thorough analysis of comprehensive data. However, many integrated absence management teams that are responsible for keeping official notes on employee medical files lack formal training in proper documentation protocols.
Program Showcase: Is All Well in the “State of Work”?
In many ways, COVID-19 was the hammer that shattered the illusion that all was well in the state of work. During the last two years, many employees (particularly women) have experienced different ways of working that, for some, worked better. And they’d like to keep it that way. On the other hand, the intense intermingling of women’s personal and professional lives — and the challenges associated with it — became more obvious to working women, their families, and their employers.

Life has changed significantly during the last two years. Many have lost or changed jobs, and we have all experienced lockdown, social distancing, and masking.

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.
