The Leadership Series is an employer-only, focus group approach to the investigation of high-profile issues. Employer panelists meet with an audience of their peers to exchange ideas and experience. A post-session white paper, developed jointly by Liberty Mutual and Disability Management Employer Coalition (DMEC), is available following the conclusion of each Leadership Series (see below for past Leadership Series white papers).

The 2012 DMEC Leadership Series, sponsored by Liberty Mutual Insurance for the eighth consecutive year, addressed industry-wide best practices in the integration of short-term disability (STD) and long-term disability (LTD) claims. Presenters from a variety of organizations convened to share their insights and experiences with attendees
