RETURN TO WORK SERVICES

Planning

Disabilities and work related injuries cost the average Canadian business approximately 17% of payroll. Over 75% of employees who participate in a return to work (RTW) plan, undergo a timely, safe, and sustainable return to work within a 12-week period. (NIDMAR, 2003).

For employees who experience a work-related injury, early intervention is the most effective way to ensure a successful and timely return to work. Typically, the longer individuals are away from the workforce, the less likely they are to return to their pre-injury jobs.

With cost-effectiveness to the employer always in mind, CareerQuest can develop a return to work plan that is both comprehensive and easy to understand. Its primary goal will be to ensure the timely, safe, and sustainable return to work of your injured, ill, or disabled employee.

A return to work plan developed by CareerQuest is outcome-focused, with clear goals that can be achieved within realistic time frames. It will be developed in consultation with the worker, health care providers, line managers and supervisors, union representatives, and the WSIB, as necessary. As well, our experienced professionals can ensure your RTW plan is in compliance with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and human rights legislation.
