Program Audits & Gap Analysis

Is your disability management program delivering the outcomes it should?

Programs and practices evolve over time, but legislation, evidence, workplace expectations, and best practices evolve too. Even well-established programs can develop gaps, inconsistencies, or outdated practices that affect absence duration, return-to-work outcomes, compliance, and overall program performance.

Dallas Mercer provides an objective assessment of how your program is working in practice—what is working well, where gaps or risks exist, and where opportunities for improvement may be found.
