Understanding a workplace and finding the best RTW outcomes through communicating with both ill or injured workers and their employer is no small task. Return to work processes and problems, and the assessment of a person's work abilities, are not unique to employers in the workers' compensation system. Life insurance claims are not necessarily work-related, but do they ultimately impact on a person's ability to work. Claims staff in both industries will see many of the same medical and psychosocial issues.

RTW Matters offers claims management staff advice and strategies on effective communication, easy-to-read research summaries on improving patients' return to work, and suggestions on how to be more effective. 

Return to Work Matters is the world leading online resource in this field. A weekly newsletter is underpinned by a well organised knowledge base containing thousands of articles, case studies, manuals, tools and resources. Regular live and recorded webinars also give insurance case and claims management staff contact with experts and their peers.
