title: Integrating disability management into strategic plans: creating healthy organizations.
abstract: The integration of disability management into the strategic planning of a corporation ensures a work environment is created that motivates employees to consistently meet customer expectations. Disability management strategies can achieve significant decreases to the human and financial cost of workers' compensation, sick leave or short term disability, and long-term disability. The business case for disability management including effective return to work programs clearly supports program implementation to enhance employee engagement, delivery of corporate priorities, and improvement to the company's bottom line.
