"In recent conversations with more than a dozen of the top absence and productivity consultants in the US, we confirmed Matrix is unique in the market with not only comprehensive, statistically validated data but the expertise to recommend policy and practice," Ken Cope, president of Matrix, said. Since then more than 35 employers representing a wide array of industries have adopted the program, which manages both leave and workplace accommodations under ADA. In 2013 Matrix was first to market with a comprehensive ADA management product, called ADA Advantage®. An early leader in the outsourced absence management space, Matrix was founded in 1987 as a workers' compensation administrator in San Jose, California. Matrix integrates short- and long-term disability, workers' compensation, return-to-work services and personal/family and medical leave programs to help employers realize time, efficiency and productivity gains. The statistical analysis is based on a review of more than 4,300 accommodation requests collected over a time period of at least 12 months from employers representing a universe of 120,000 employees.
