The many challenges and detrimental effects caused by absenteeism are usually the result of:
- Managers who are ill-equipped, uncomfortable or have limited understanding of the insurer’s role
- Doubts about the proactivity of disability case managers
- Inefficient processes that slow absence management
- Disengaged parties
- Failed returns to work and ever-increasing disability costs
- An unstable labour pool
Sounds familiar? Then it’s time to rethink your disability management strategy.
