Returning to work

A return-to-work program is based on the philosophy that many employees can safely perform productive and transitional work as part of their recovery process.

Workers benefit from a return-to-work program by:

  • Being able to perform meaningful work
  • Maintaining income levels
  • Retaining status within company
  • Preserving sense of attachment to the work place and to co-workers
  • Maintaining body conditioning
  • Quickening the recovery process

Unions also benefit by protecting the employment and employability of their members.
