Today's business climate must continuously adapt to meet the needs of an increasingly complex environment. These forces can affect productivity, absenteeism, turnover and job satisfaction. To minimize these effects, organizations must be able to analyze present performance, predict future challenges, and modify current systems and practices when needed.

The Organizational Development Division was formed as an extension of HMS to help businesses and organizations meet their goals through exemplary management practices and employee performance. HMS offers a fully integrated Organizational Effectiveness service that unifies traditional employee assistance services with a systems approach solution to organizational challenges. HMS offers specialized consultative services in organizational assessment, performance management and customized training on a variety of topics. These services are designed to:

• Decrease disability claim incidents
• Increase employee productivity and performance
• Decrease behavioral healthcare costs
• Decrease turnover and paid absence
• Decrease accidents
• Increase employee job satisfaction
