How Do You Make Return to Work Easy?

February 7, 2022 By //  by Michael B. Stack

The journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. Hello, my name is Michael Stack and I’m the CEO of Amaxx. And today I wanna talk about return to work and I wanna have a very simple message for you. I, how do you make the first step easy? How do you make the first step for return to work easy? If you’re an employer, you’re a service provider. We are creatures of habit as human beings. We’ve heard the statistics the longer you’re out of work, the harder it is to get back to work. We’ve heard the statistics that after, or 12 weeks that person’s likelihood of ever coming back to work drops to around 50%, just over 50%. It is a huge, huge benefit to get that person back to work. But how do you do it? Today’s message is very simple is you have to make the first step to get to work easy, easy for someone’s mind to wrap their head around.

Oh, I hurt my shoulder. Oh, my back is, you know, it’s been killing. There’s no way I can do that job no possible way. I can do the full, full duty. Okay. No problem. How do we make it easy for that person to come back to work? How do you make it easy for that person to come back to work? How do you make it easy for that person to come back to work in a simple step, doing a job that you’ve talked to them about that they say, oh yeah, I can do that. Now you’re off the races. How do you make it easy for a person to come back to work? You’re going do yourself a huge favor by answering that question, you’re gonna be doing your injured workers, a huge favor by answering that question. How do you make it easy for that person, that injured worker to come back to work again? My name is Michael Stack and the CEO of Amaxx remember your work today in worker’s compensation can have a dramatic impact and a company’s bottom line, but it will have a dramatic impact on someone’s life. So be great.

Author Michael Stack, CEO Amaxx LLC. He is an expert in workers’ compensation cost containment systems and helps employers reduce their workers’ comp costs by 20% to 50%. He works as a consultant to large and mid-market clients, is a co-author of Your Ultimate Guide To Mastering Workers Comp Costs, a comprehensive step-by-step manual of cost containment strategies based on hands-on field experience, and is the founder & lead trainer of Amaxx Workers’ Comp Training Center, which offers the Certified Master of Workers’ Compensation national designation.
