Hold weekly meetings with injured employees to monitor progress and document return-to-work obstacles.
Guidelines for these meetings include:
1. Present the cost-savings benefits of returning employees to work in transitional duty to build and maintain management commitment.
2. Invite a member of management to join the injury management team.
3. Work with senior management and middle managers to implement a dollar-for-dollar charge-back system to the units where losses occur.
4. Design work-arounds to facilitate a timely return to work.
5. Invite Employee and family member (spouse) to bring the family on board.Click on these links to try it for yourself.
