Optimal Outcomes

pro-active disability management

It’s estimated that one in three employees in Canada will make a long-term disability (LTD) claim in their working life.

By implementing a structured and integrated approach to disability management in the workplace, employers can either prevent or reduce the length of an extended absence. It’s important to initiate the process early, and maintain employee contact to reduce claim duration. Conversely, the longer someone is off work, the more difficult it is for them to return.
