HMS strives to offer value-added products and services.  However, when your organization partners with HMS, there are advantages that extend beyond our program offerings.

An advantage of partnering with HMS is that HMS is organizationally integrated.
HMS is a stand-alone firm whose interest and primary goal is focused on helping organizations retain their most valuable asset.  HMS develops sound working relationships with HR and other staff functions and becomes familiar with company culture, policies and procedures.  HMS provides on-line and on-site training to HR representatives, leaders, and employees.  HMS participates in internal, corporate threat assessment teams and contributes to the development of company health and wellness programs.  HMS extends itself as part of your organization. 

A advantage of partnering with HMS is that HMS is a knowledgeable, objective advocate.
Part of the role of HMS is to advocate on the employees behalf and to facilitate the level of care they require.  HMS referrals are based on our clinical assessment, not constrained resources. 

One of the health care realities in the US is the existence of managed care organizations that monitor and control how health care dollars are spent on employees.  While there are merits to this system of delivering healthcare, there is a legitimate concern of the managed care provider becoming restricting or even exclusionary in its assessment of employees' needs.  

An advantage of partnering with HMS is that HMS connects policies to practice.
Most companies attempt to manage risk with policies.  Employers have personnel policies and employee handbooks but these alone are inadequate if management has not been trained on how to embrace and enforce them.  HMS knows that preventative training and education are essential to minimize risk, improve employee health and safety and to reduce the high cost of claims and workers' compensation insurance.  HMS stands apart in our industry as more than a solution for employees.  HMS also works with organizational leaders, helping managers deal with the issues they face and understand the associated risk. 

The impact of professional training can yield hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings when managers know exactly what is needed and what is expected of them.
