Queensland businesses and individuals have been recognised in
Q-COMP's Return to work Awards 2012 which highlights the
commitment, dedication and achievements of our injured workers,
health providers, case managers, rehabilitation and return to work
coordinators, and employers.
The winners were selected from over 350 nominations across
Queensland and were personally congratulated by Q-COMP Chair Flavia
Gobbo during the awards ceremony.
The theme for this year's awards, 'New Heights' reminds us that
we must continually strive to lift our game in rehabilitation and
return to work outcomes. The Awards allow us to recognise,
celebrate and share the outstanding contributions made by
individuals and businesses that illustrate the spirit, culture and
innovation to keep Queenslanders working.
Q-COMP CEO Elizabeth Woods says that the winners and finalists
of the Return to work Awards 2012 are doing their part in building
a strong return to work culture in Queensland.
'It's really positive to see the proactive measures employers
are taking to ensure that staff are safe and supported in the event
that in injury occurs.
'An injury at the workplace can have devastating affects, and I
congratulate all the winners in every category for their commitment
to return to work' Ms Woods said.
