Description
Integration of EA programs with disability management, absence management, worker's compensation, health insurance and other workplace services is a growing trend. Data from all these programs is often combined in a "data warehouse." This data is used for corporate cost-reduction initiatives, but this data can be mined in ways that compromise confidentiality. The panel will explore the ramifications for the EA profession.

Objectives:
• describe the data warehousing process
• discuss confidentiality concerns with organizational benefit/HR managers
• make informed EA policy decisions for EA programs faced with requests to include data in data warehouses.
