Vocational Rehabilitation

Do you want to get your staff back to work quickly?

Probably you already know that you need to get your staff back to work quickly and safely if you are to minimise the cost of absence but how do you go about doing it.

Or do you just wait for the problem to resolve itself?

When members of staff are signed off work they are often just waiting and hoping that everything will sort itself out, the problem will resolve and eventually they will return to work.

Sometimes of course, it does happen like that but sometimes it can appear as though the problem will go on forever. It can be depressing and discouraging for everyone.  Managers can feel frustrated thinking there must be a more effective way of resolving the problem and getting staff back to work.

FACT: The longer someone is off work the harder it is for them to return. At 6 months there is ony a 50% of them ever returning to work

Have you considered Vocational Rehabilitation?

If you find yourself in this situation with employees who have been unable to return to work than professional assistance can help. Vocational Rehabilitation provides professional guidance and support for both employees and employers follwoing injuries or illness.

How does vocational rehabilitation ensure a faster return to work?

Vocational rehabilitation works by helping employees to manage their condition more effectively and at the same time providing employers with expertise on suitable work.. By dealing with both the health issues of the employee and the work problems that are preventing the employee returning you can ensure minimal absence and a safe and speedy return to work.
