Return to Work is a structured process that helps employees safely resume their duties after an illness, injury, or absence, whether the cause is work-related or not. As part of your Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management system, the goal is to support recovery while maintaining the employee\u2019s connection to the workplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Return to Work program benefits the employee and the employer, and may include temporary, modified, or alternate duties, adjusted hours, or workplace accommodations based on medical guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a lot to consider when creating your organization\u2019s Return to Work program. Check out our templates and resources, created with social service workers in mind, to help your process. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
