Managing employee absences can be complicated, especially as
leave laws continually change at the federal, state and municipal
levels and many companies have multiple leave policies within the
organization that affect different categories of employees. A total
absence management program plays an important role in easing
employers’ administrative burdens and can help improve
productivity. MetLife, a leading provider of employee benefits,
today announced enhancements to its workplace productivity
solution, MetLife Total Absence ManagementSM.
“Economic pressures continue to bring the importance of an
integrated absence management program to the forefront. We are
pleased to be able to offer enhancements to our state of the art
leave administration system that make it easier for employers to
understand the absences impacting their workforce and the bottom
line, and help facilitate their employees’ safe and timely return
to work experience and maximize workforce productivity,” said Paul
D. Taylor, vice president, Disability Product Management,
MetLife.
MetLife Total Absence Management is currently available to
employers with 1,000 or more employees. Key enhancements include
additional real-time, online information for Human Resource (HR)
professionals and managers; expanded online leave submission
capabilities for both employers and employees, with flexibility for
highly customized messages; the ability for managers to subscribe
to automatic email notifications for new data affecting their
workforce; and greater tracking and reporting insights. For
example, employers now have access to a wider range of customized
reporting features that help identify patterns in employee
absences, including:
- Operational Reports – Employee-level
detail to assist employers in making practical decisions about
their businesses;
- Productivity Reports –
Organizational-level summary to help identify resource gaps so
employers can respond appropriately to conditions; and
- Analytical Reports – Trends and
comparisons of absence types and durations to help employers make
appropriate decisions on their benefit plans and employee
populations.
Additionally, to help facilitate a safe, timely and medically
appropriate return-to-work experience for employees after
disability-related absences, MetLife has introduced a new online
resource for employers. Return to Work Online, available at
metlife.com/returntowork, offers tips, case studies, a guide and
links to other resources to help employers create an effective
return-to-work program for qualified employees and drive improved
workforce productivity.
