To help employers and producers better understand and address the complexities of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, Liberty Mutual Insurance’s Group Benefits business unit and the Disability Management Employer Coalition (DMEC) announced publication of the latest volume in their ongoing Leadership Series white papers, “2013 Leadership Series - How Accommodating Is Your RTW Program? Employer Best Practices in ADA Accommodations.”
“ADA compliance affects how employers manage employee absence,” notes Heather Luiz, director of product management at Liberty Mutual’s Group Benefits operation. “Employers need to be smart and informed to protect their employees, reputations and bottom-lines from the serious consequences of failing to comply with the law.”
The Leadership Series white paper may be downloaded at www.libertymutualgroup.com/ADA and copies will be available at Liberty Mutual’s booth at the DMEC 2013 Annual Conference August 19 – 21 in Atlanta (booth number 28). It details best ADA compliance practices—from creating a central management process to documenting requests and decisions—identified through a series of panel discussions with leading employers.
Beyond the latest white paper, a range of ADA information – from a guide to developing ADA-compliant programs to a video highlighting the central role ADA compliance plays in benefits administration – is available at www.libertymutualgroup.com/ADA.
