Return to Work: An Effective Post-Loss Risk Management Strategy for Workplace Injuries

Overview

Your clients with workers’ comp exposure are sitting on a hidden cost: injured employees who never come back.

Once a worker is off the job for more than three months, their odds of returning to the workforce drop below 50 percent, and your clients absorb the productivity loss, replacement training, and claims costs that follow.

This white paper lays out how a well-designed return-to-work program brings injured employees back about 1.4x sooner, controls medical and lost-wage costs, and strengthens retention — a conversation-starter you can bring to any workers’ comp renewal or prospect meeting.

Share it with your clients to show them:

• The benefits of return-to-work programs, from controlling claims costs to retaining experienced workers and easing the stress of time away
• A step-by-step framework for building a program, including policy development, provider panels, transitional-duty assignments, and more
• Real examples of transitional-duty tasks and how to design meaningful assignments (not “busywork”) that support recovery while keeping employees productive
