Proactively identifying and addressing barriers to effective workplace injury recovery and return to work management is crucial to the safety and wellbeing of injured workers, the productivity of your workforce and business success. It is known that if we can recognise and consider these factors, a holistic approach to injury management can be adopted.
A holistic approach acknowledges that an injured worker’s recovery can be influenced by a complex ecosystem of personal, social, and workplace environment factors and that successful Return to Work (RTW) involves more than just physical healing.
Revisiting our February 2023 case study, this InMotion will explore, potential barriers to successful recovery and RTW, strategies to overcome these barriers and creating an action plan to ensure good RTW outcomes and minimising business impact.
