Discover the Benefits

When employees have custom support, everyone benefits.

Focus on Stay-at-Work Actions

Provide support for employees even before a short-term disability claim is filed. Early intervention can keep employees on the job and earning a full paycheck, and employers can benefit from direct and indirect savings.

Treat the Whole Person

Designated clinical consultants work with employees to examine factors that can delay recovery.2 They coordinate holistic support through a unique plan for each employee.

Count on Designated Clinical Expertise

Get access to a nationwide network of designated clinical consultants and ease the burden on your human resources staff.2 Consultants can work directly with employees by providing case management, conducting workplace assessments and recommending ergonomic equipment. They can also refer them to employer benefits and local programs.
