White paper | Disability management: the importance of a proactive approach

In 2024, Canadians were absent from work an average of 10.5 days per person due to illness and disability.¹. In 2022, more than a quarter of the population (27%) had at least one health condition resulting in disability.².

Beyond the impacts on individuals, absence from work affects team performance, morale and long-term stability. That’s why organizations are well advised to take a close look at the issue and take a proactive approach to disability management.

Our white paper provides an overview of disability in the Canadian workplace. It also examines the solutions that group insurance coverage can offer.
