| Disability Management and Organizational Change: The DMAR Project In June 2008, the Disability Management Excellence (DMEx) initiative was launched as a joint endeavour between the British Columbia Ministry of Employment and Income Assistance and the National Institute of Disability Management and Research (NIDMAR). The initiative was defined through its objectives: "Restoring lives – Reducing costs", and involved the application of a NIDMAR developed and globally adopted return to work / disability management program assessment protocol, administered through the International Disability Management Standards Council (IDMSC). Supported through employer and worker organizations in British Columbia, the launch of the DMEx project saw the participation of a broad cross-section of British Columbia employers. Led by a joint project steering team, a Disability Management Action Research process was undertaken following one organization starting with the initial program assessment through to RTW/DM re-design. The socio-economic outcomes from this highly collaborative process have been most significant and the full report chronicling this major effort is now available.
