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:
- Injured workers attend classes to learn about safety and proper medical treatment.
- Proof:Positive staff coordinates with claims adjusters and medical providers to ensure treatment is progressing on schedule.
- Proof:Positive develops customized, productive activities—in cooperation with the employee’s supervisor and within physician’s authorization—that keep the employee working and on the payroll.
- Attendance in the Proof:Positive program is mandatory, which provides accountability measures.
- Work hardening prepares the employee to return to their original job.
- The Health and Wellness Room eliminates time off, thereby acting as a deterrent of fraudulent or malingering claims.
