Injury and Case Management Handbook
Thrown in the deep end with Return to Work?
- Do you have a practical plan of attack?
- Need expert insights, everyday language?
- Want resources to help get the job done?
- The knowledge to do the right thing by everyone?
- Need to separate performance issues from RTW?
There’s only so much you can learn in a two day course. Being a return to work coordinator is a complex, demanding, often frustrating job, yet in most jurisdictions you’re expected to have all the necessary information and skills under your belt after a few days of training.
The RTW Matters Injury and Case Management Handbook provides practical, simple and clear information to help you get the job done with a minimum of fuss. The handbook is available to all Return to Work Matters members in an online format or as a PDF download.
