Help your employees get back to work after an injury

Return-to-Work (RTW) programs are designed to help employees recover faster and return to work faster after an injury with tasks tailored to their medical restrictions. They’re proven to increase productivity, reduce claim costs, and keep employees engaged. Getting your employees back to work quickly benefits everyone. Research shows that after 12 weeks, fewer than 50% of injured employees will ever go back to work.
