Return to work assessment checklists
What's in it for me?
Achieving better practice in return to work makes good business
sense.
What are the benefits of better
practice in return to work (RTW)?
With better practices you can:
- reduce your workers' compensation costs
- reduce your injured worker's time away from work
- improve workplace morale.
Better return to work starts with:
- building up a workplace culture that supports your workers
after an injury
- keeping in contact with your injured worker during recovery and
starting to plan their RTW
- regularly monitoring your injured worker's progress when they
return to work
- taking time to think about what worked well, what didn't work
and how to improve.
