Return to work

An essential element of a successful Disability Management program focuses on returning an employee to work after an accident, injury or illness, whether it occurred within or outside of the workplace.

What we do:

Our goal is to help integrate the employee back into the work environment. Return to Work Coordination is a process typically facilitated by a return to work specialist who coordinates a meeting between an employee and employer.

Why we do it:

The focus of a return to work program provides the employer an opportunity to reduce lost productivity costs that occur as a result of an individual who is off work due to an accident / injury / illness. The intervention identifies strategies that will help the employee return to work with minimal time lost.

How we do it:

Our Disability Management Specialists work with the employer and the employee to identify barriers that might prevent a worker from successfully returning to their job.

We work to identify accommodations / services that could eliminate and/or reduce the impact of barriers in an effort to help an employee transition quickly and safely back into the work environment.

Why return to work coordination is so important:

Focuses on capabilities, not disability

Early contact and intervention

Identifies barriers to returning to work and works to resolve them

OUR GOAL IS TO HELP THE EMPLOYER REDUCE COSTS RELATED TO ABSENCE THROUGH EARLY INTERVENTION AND RETURN TO WORK COORDINATION.
