Workplace
Effective workplace management relies on communication and cooperation between all key players. This involves ways to identify, and strategies to manage, obstacles to staying at or returning to work. Learn to use evidence-based steps for the RTW process, including workplace accommodations, with confidence.
“... so useful to learn about what I could do to make the return to work process actually happen. It’s so frustrating to be at the mercy of others...”

Healthcare
Access to effective healthcare is important. This relies on identifying suitable work-focused providers, who deliver an efficient stepped-care approach matching appropriate level of care with individual need. Differentiate the need for ‘hands-on’ (passive) intervention from ‘coaching-style’ (active) intervention using information and advice.

Making it Happen
Use a tightly integrated approach to ensure ‘all players are onside’. Separate any concerns over how the problem came about, from what can be done to help the person return to productive activity. Learn about when to consider case management, the role of workplace modifications and transitional work arrangements.

“Long-term worklessness is detrimental to health and well-being, so, helping people stay at work and return to work is imperative”
