A white paper from The Standard explains how employers can address presenteeism, which is defined as the decline in workplace productivity due to a medical condition. In this recovering economy, employers and their workers are doing more with less, which stretches employees to their limits. The white paper outlines five solutions:
• Work with a disability carrier that provides on-site assistance.
• Make sure that the disability carrier you choose offers quick and effective ergonomic interventions with equipment to improve workers’ productivity.
• Improve employer pharmacy programs to reduce the effects of medical conditions that can contribute to lost productivity.
• Integrate the company’s health management programs.
• Provide health management programs such as wellness initiatives, employee assistance plans, and disease management.
