You are well aware that the longer an employee is out of work, the greater
the costs to your organization. However, bringing an employee back to the job

on your bottom line. How can you ensure that your injured employees get back to
work as soon as possible without risking recurring injuries? This intensive
one-hour webinar will provide you with insight into how you can get employees
back to work while minimizing the risks and keeping your costs down.
The following topics will be addressed:
- Factors to consider in weighing the benefits of aggressive return-to-work
policies against the risks of recurring injuries

medical certifications

and modified duty
- Expediting an injured workers' return-to-work by using job restructuring
