What disability management leaders are saying

Disability and Absence Management Leader, Insurance Organization

Starling has an easy referral process, allowing employees to have immediate access to support in the comfort and privacy of their homes. Our employees’ reactions have been positive and I think it’s a great program for our organization to provide to them when they need it most. It’s an incredible feeling when employees say they are getting better and don’t feel as alone.
