Improving temporary disability management

Published on: 23/12/2015

Awareness of the needs of the companies by the contact people and management of the temporary disability index allow us to apply improvement plans directed specifically at companies that require specific actions, both for their high rates of temporary disability and for the needs specific to their activity sector.

Objectives:

  • Assess the current temporary disability situation in the company, using internally prepared management and economic indexes.
  • Propose measures to make workers aware so that they are more involved in the management of temporary disability.
  • Achieve a mutual commitment in improving temporary disability with regular monitoring.
  • Reduce the incidence rate.

These plans are applied through the joint work of Mutua Universal and the Company, with people in charge of monitoring the key parameters, analysing data to plan actions and reviewing and controlling the progress.

Indicators

Our objective is to provide the company with a series of instruments and a methodology so that it can prepare its own Action plan for temporary disability processes. To do this, we make a Customised plan of measures, taking into account the characteristics specific to the company, and an Action plan, that covers 4 different aspects:

  • Temporary disability management policy
  • Working procedures
  • Communication of the Action plan
  • Temporary disability management

How Communicating the Action plan in the company and the Temporary disability management on the basis of calculation parameters of the temporary disability and regular monitoring are key elements for implementing the Improvement plans successfully.
