Assessing the current RTW system > Surveys / “Toolbox talks”

Many organisations will have pre-existing channels for acquiring employee feedback and encouraging participation.

Take advantage of the information you’ve already got, and use pre-existing channels to ask for feedback on the injury management system.

1. Using your own surveys

If your organisation already conducts employee surveys, these may provide information about how the site measures up in terms of workplace culture.

2. “Toolbox talks”

In areas with relatively few employees, it may be appropriate to explore work injury management issues in small groups.

For example, routine “toolbox talks” can be an opportunity to inquire about RTW management. Similarly, managers’ meetings can be used to explore potential issues for this group.
