In the unfortunate event that a worker falls ill or becomes injured and is unable to work, we have implemented a Return to Work program to help ease employees back to work when the time is right. It is a temporary measure that is intended to bridge the gap between injury and returning to full duties. By having injured workers return to work gradually, we are able to maintain the safety of the injured worker, while assisting in a more rapid and complete recovery process. The Return to Work Program is beneficial for both employee and employer; by reducing the risk of long-term disability, reducing employee stress levels - as they are able to maintain their income levels and job status within the company, reducing the amount of time having valuable employees away from work as well as any potential training cost for the employer if they are required to train a replacement worker.
