Value of Certification to Employers 

Unplanned employee absences have a direct impact on the company’s bottom line, from increased costs for replacement workers to delays in production, missed deadlines, and lapses in customer service.

Disability management is a proven workplace solution to address employee absences, whether due to work-related illnesses or injuries, or non-occupational incidents.

Certified Disability Management Specialists have the experience, educational background, and credentials to contribute to workplace productivity by providing services to meet the medical and vocational needs of ill and injured workers. 

By hiring a Certified Disability Management Specialist (CDMS), employers are assured that this professional:

• Has specialized knowledge to analyze, prevent, and mitigate the human and economic impact of disability for employees and employers

• Has demonstrated the professional experience, knowledge, and educational background to competently deliver disability management services

• Is committed to continuing education and upgrading skills

• Adheres to the highest professional and ethical standards, including the Code of Professional Conduct developed by the CDMSC
