In a “Five Minutes With …” podcast, Maria Henderson, founder of HDM solutions and chair-elect of the Certification of Disability Management Specialists Commission, spoke with EBN Managing Editor Leah Carlson Shepherd about the commission´s leadership awards for disability management and tips for employers in managing the benefit more effectively.
Henderson also reminds employers that employees on short-term disability, although just 10% of the active population, spend “over 50% of your health care for each year. These people are the sickest in your population. You need to be paying attention to them.” Download the podcast here.
