Description

ABSTRACT Every organization has a vested interest in the health and safety of its workforce. Furthermore, good organizations always look for ways to improve their competitive edge. By linking health and productivity, good organizations emphasize integrated disability management (IDM) programs as a way to reign in healthcare costs while focusing on worker health and safety. Integrated disability management programs appear to have a positive impact on overall business success. These programs carry the potential for real savings by integrating an employer's voluntary and statutory plans into one program to meet employee needs efficiently. By being attuned to employee on and off-the-job injuries as well as overall health, organizations can promote productivity and competitiveness while integrating disability programs. In so doing, organizations are able to develop successful return-to-work programs, thereby retaining an effective workforce. This paper will offer an historical perspective on IDM programs, delineate the costs of disabilities to organizations, analyze corporate successes, discuss disability lawsuits, and describe the attributes of successful IDM programs.
