Return-to-Work Programs
The Challenges
Employees off work for 6 months have less than a 50% chance of ever returning to the work place. There is a 40% chance a worker will miss work the entire year if they miss four to twelve weeks of work.
The Solution
DMG can assist you with developing and implementing a program to facilitate early return-to-work and reap the many benefits of this “win-win” practice.
Our program includes:
- Analysis of existing jobs to extract potential temporary task assignments
- Survey of departments to identify additional “miscellaneous” tasks that may be appropriate for productive temporary task assignments
- Analysis of the physical demands of all tasks identified
- Development of a simple-to-use matrix tool used to compare an employee’s temporary restrictions with the physical demands of available transitional tasks
- Development of a “tool kit” of forms and procedures that fit your needs, including:
- Documentation of employee’s temporary work restrictions
- Transitional Task Description
- Transitional Task Assignment Agreement
- Flow chart of process
- Supervisor Checklist
- Roles and Responsibilities
- Training on procedures and documentation, including troubleshooting
- Ongoing support to ensure program success and effectiveness
