DISABILITY AND CULTURE

As always we want to ensure we are delivering seminar topics that are of key interest to YOU! We are pleased to present the first seminar resulting from our recent January 2018 survey results. We will be discussing two topics: 'Improving Disability Management Outcomes' and 'Building and Maintaining a Positive Culture in the Workplace'.

  • Supporting mental health claims through a myriad of resources

  • Importance of communication and early intervention

  • How effective drug programs support claims resolution
