   Consolidating employee benefits with workers' compensation is, at the least, problematic, according to William C. Strachan, ARM, risk manager for the Town of Enfield, Conn., who noticed that the two areas have separate vocabularies. Workers' compensation has become almost adversarial, Strachan said, whereas benefits are more accommodating to employee needs.
   
   "To integrate the two into a 24-hour program," he said, "has been accomplished in only a few instances." As a former consultant with a Big Five firm, Strachan once participated in an assignment to integrate a workers' compensation TPA with a benefit TPA. Getting the two sides into the same room to talk to each other was a chore. "It was an exercise in vocabulary translation," he recalled.
