Compton works at Philip Morris and is a member of Virginia
Commonwealth's Business Roundtable. The Roundtable is a forum for
identifying and addressing factors that inhibit industries from employing
workers with disabilities. Read below or view the video of David's
comments on disability management.
David Compton --
"Philip Morris is a company with a very diverse workforce and a wide
variety of jobs. So our approach to the potentially disabled individual is
on a continuum were we try to work with the individual to maximize their
healthcare, both the efficiency and effectiveness of their healthcare and
the rehabilitation and lead them back into having a productive and
rewarding life with the company.
In those cases where we do have residual disability we partner with the
individual and healthcare provider and exercise a formal program to look
at a variety of technical and administrative and staffing options which
they'll allow us to bring the employee back into the workforce within
their abilities."
