Disability Management: Opportunities for Employer Action explores how employers can avoid employee absences by implementing prevention initiatives, wellness programs and supports, stay-at-work programs, and appropriate accommodation and return-to-work practices. The report also presents information on the types of disability management practices in place in Canadian workplaces, including sick leave and disability coverage. The research is based on a national survey, which was conducted by The Conference Board of Canada between February and March 2013 of 2,004 individuals currently employed on either a part- or full-time basis, including 727 front line managers who supervise or manage other people in the workplace. The research highlights the actual experiences of employees who have taken a short- or long-term leave of absence from work and the front line managers, who are responsible for supporting these employees.
