How To Design A Return To Work Program

Creating a successful Return-to-Work (RTW) program requires careful planning and consideration of various factors. Identify your objectives, such as keeping employees engaged, promoting their return, and enhancing productivity. Ensure you have the necessary resources and management support in place while adhering to compliance with ADA and FMLA regulations. Effectively assess the benefits for both the business and employees, and establish clear accountability. Consider the work environment and provide transitional duties as needed. Regularly track and report on results to ensure program effectiveness.
