PDM has the experience to act as a disability management resource for insurers dealing with special cases; where disability management has languished for a block of the insurer's business; or where the insurer is being inundated by new claims. We work with the insurer to assess files on a contract basis to screen for possible rehabilitation initiatives especially for those claimants, who have been or are likely to remain for a prolonged period on disability benefits.
PDM offers vocational evaluations and transferable skills to assist in identifying alternative occupations for employees unable to resume their own job. This tool is critical to developing return to work plans with a focus. We extend this service by conducting labour market research (when requested or required) to ensure fair remuneration is possible when making a transition to another occupation. PDM also offers Skills Training as a focused, proactive approach in assisting employees with their transition into the work force, providing effective tools for them to competitively succeed. This provide employees with education, tools and resources to compete for employment in the market place when seeking employment
