“Early Return-To-Work” is our proven, post-accident prevention program that minimizes workers’ compensation costs and reduces overall losses. The program’s goal is to coordinate and oversee, with proper medical approval, a plan for employees’ return to work, even if it requires a temporary shift in job responsibilities administered through our light-duty program—The Health and Wellness Room. The Proof:Positive Return-To-Work program can:
- Foster and enhance the physical and psychological recovery process for the injured workers.
- Reduce medical, disability, and lost time costs.
- Reduce indirect accident costs.
- Minimize the chance of re-injury.
- Encourage cooperation between employees and management.
- Establish a more stable workforce.
- Enhance the injured employees sense of confidence and well-being.
By providing injured workers with meaningful projects and ongoing training, The Health and Wellness Room keeps employees from falling “out-of-sight, out-of-mind” and returns employees to work 50 percent faster than disability leave spent at home. Here is how it works:
