When your employees are absent from work due to injury or illness, early intervention is the best tool at your disposal to facilitate a safe and timely return to work. It’s good for you and your bottom line, more importantly, it’s good for your employee and their recovery. The road to recovery starts with early intervention. One of the most important elements of an early intervention program is customized return-to-work planning. Helping your employees return to work as soon as they’re able is a key element in reducing your claim costs. For employees, participating in a return-to-work program is a driving force for improving quality of life while increasing the chances of a successful return to pre-disability health. A return-to-work plan takes into consideration:

• The nature and extent of your employee’s limitations
• Expected duration of recovery (as per the employee’s physician)
• Functional limitations
• Job-specific work tasks

The resulting plan may suggest reduced working hours and/or a reduction in the complexity of physical or psychological tasks. It is designed to be proactive, accommodating the employee’s limitations and capabilities.
