Navigating Barriers to Return to Work

September 14th, 2023 11:00-12:00PM

Did you know that according to the Canadian Society of Professionals in Disability Management that after a year on short-term disability, only 20% of injured workers ever return to the job? Learn about what you can do to help facilitate and manage return-to-work for your workers.

Research by Ontario’s Workplace Safety and Insurance Board has shown that if a worker is not back on the job within 90 days of an injury, the chances they will ever return to work drop by 50 percent. After a year, notes the Canadian Society of Professionals in Disability Management, only 20% return to the job.

That’s why it is so critical to design a plan for supporting a smooth and timely transition back to work.
