The product has been designed to return employees to work quicker, increase productivity, and positively impact direct and indirect costs by leveraging ESIS' long-standing expertise in handling workers compensation claims and managing benefits losses.

ESIS' IDM solution incorporates state and federal leave programs, such as the Family Medical Leave Act and American Disability Act, with paid benefit programs, such as Long-Term Disability, to an organization's current workers compensation and short-term disability offerings to provide a comprehensive view of employee absence.
