Help your employees get back to work after an injury

A strong Return-to-Work (RTW) policy supports both your employees and your workers' compensation outcomes. RTW programs help injured or ill employees recover and return to work safely by providing modified or light duty tasks that meet medical restrictions. They’re proven to support a quicker recovery and keep employees engaged as well as reducing claim costs and lost productivity.
