| What are the benefits of getting your injured workers back to work? |
| People are your most valuable asset. The longer an injured worker is absent, the higher the costs will be to your business. In addition to the cost of a workers’ compensation claim, your organization may experience additional indirect losses such as:
|
| • Lost productivity time |
| • Decreased morale |
| • Increased experience mod/premiums |
| • Hiring and retraining replacements |
| One of the most effective ways to manage these losses is by implementing a return-to-work program! |
| Why? |
| The answer is simple: An effective return-to-work program can reduce your overall claims costs by up to 70 percent!
These programs are beneficial to both the employer and employee. |
| As an employer, benefits include:
|
• Reduced medical claim costs |
| • A boost in company morale |
| • Reduction in disability duration |
| • Increased retention of valuable/skilled workers |
| • Significant decrease in potentially fraudulent claims |
| As an employee, benefits include: |
| • Maintaining contact with your employer and fellow workers promoting increased morale and a faster recovery |
| • Ability to stay in same or similar job |
| • Lower chances of suffering financial drawbacks (due to reduction of salary and/or benefits) |
