Integrated Disability Management Overview

When an employee is unable to return to work due to an injury or illness, this greatly affects not only that person but the organization as a whole. And many times it is difficult to see the possibilities available in returning someone to work because as the employer you are so close to the situation it can be difficult to gain perspective.

Disability Discrimination

Although the overall number of individuals in the workforce has declined charges of discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) have been on the rise for the last four years. In 2009, American businesses paid out more than sixty seven million dollars in monetary benefits to workers of these lawsuits. Many of these cases were brought forth due to a lack of workplace accommodation. With these types of court judgments, it is in every company’s best interest to make sure that they are following all of the requisite procedures when dealing with job accommodations for disabled employees in the workplace. And the definition of disability has been expanded, so it is even more important to rely on experts in the field to safeguard your company’s standing.
