Return-to-Work Coordination

The high cost to an organization for workers leaving the job due to injury, illness, or disability is well documented. Improving the worker’s ability to transition back to work as soon as possible helps lower the cost to the organization for expenses such as absenteeism, lost productivity, and, in some cases, the need to replace employees. Oftentimes employees are ready to return to work, but not full-time or able to perform all of the usual responsibilities of the job.

One of the most effective ways to support positive employment outcomes for the worker is to implement RTW strategies early in the recovery process, as soon after (ideally before) the employee takes leave from the job as possible, with a focus on maintaining the employer-employee relationship.
