The supervisor’s role is pivotal in Return To Work. They are closely connected to the employees, their work and the work environment. Perfectly placed to observe changes in behaviour and the emergence of physical, mental and personal problems and act to prevent problems or facilitate a return after an illness or injury.

This training program sets up supervisors to make the most of their capacity to positively impact return to work, foster good working relationships while encouraging employees to be more productive.

Use the package to create a program that is right for your workplace. You will be able to identify problems and benefits associated with both effective and ineffective return to work programs, demonstrate knowledge of variable courses of recovery, identify factors that impede and assist employees with musculoskeletal problems, identify barriers, show knowledge of management tools available, and much more.
