For many employees, remote work offers appealing benefits: more freedom, a flexible schedule, and a personalized work space. For others, it creates challenges. For instance, how do companies offer absence and disability support for employees who work outside the office?
With nearly 4 million American employees working remotely, this complicated issue is only growing for HR professionals nationwide, with more employees choosing to work from home.
Fortunately, there are absence and disability options companies can implement to support their remote workforce in this changing economy. Developing a broader disability management approach makes it possible to address remote workers and other nontraditional employees without making them feel isolated on their own “island.”
