Researchers at Prudential Financial Inc., Newark, N.J., have released statistics concerning that topic in a summary of results from a recent survey of benefit plan sponsors.
Only about 30% of the participants said their companies now are doing “a great deal” in that area, but about 40% of the participants at companies with absence tracking programs say the programs have been “highly effective,” the Prudential researchers report.
