Operating name: National Institute of Disability Management and Research
The National Institute of Disability Management and Research, founded in 1994, is an internationally recognized organization committed to reducing the human, social and economic costs of disability.
As an education, training and research organization, NIDMAR's primary focus is the implementation of workplace-based reintegration programs, which international research has proven is the most effective way of restoring and maintaining a worker's abilities, while reducing the cost of disability for workers, employers, government and insurance carriers.
NIDMAR's success is the result of collaborative initiatives undertaken by leaders in labour, business, government, education, insurance, and rehabilitation.
NIDMAR is supported by a broad-based Board of Directors with senior representatives from across Canada. As a long-term labour-management and multi-party organization committed to disability management in the workplace, NIDMAR is supported by an endowment fund created through contributions from the federal and provincial governments, major private corporations and public organizations.
NIDMAR's primary thrusts are as follows: Education and Training
A wide range of programs and courses aimed at improving the capability of organizations to reintegrate workers with disabilities into the workplace.
Professional certifications
Following the development of Occupational Standards for professionals working in the field of disability management and return to work, certification examinations were developed and are offered across Canada for the following professional designations: Certified Return to Work Coordinator (CRTWC) and Certified Disability Management Professional (CDMP)
Disability management audit and assessment tools
The Consensus Based Disability Management Audit (CBDMA) and the Workplace Disability Management Assessment (WDMA) have been developed based on international best practice and are instruments to assist organizations to evaluate and improve their capability to reintegrate their workforce, providing an economic and social benefit to the organization. The CBDMA is the only consensus based, 360-total-quality-management audit/assessment tool available in the field of disability management.
