Management Commitment - Commitment and support from top management for Return-to-Work and a fully-integrated risk management program should be consistent and clearly communicated throughout the organization. The program will be more successful when managers, supervisors and workers clearly understand the program and work together.
Preparation - Identify and involve key players early and provide them with training. Goals and policies should be established, along with appropriate forms and letters.
Training - Return-to-Work is more successful when all parties realize its value. Management, supervisors and employees will benefit from training that shows how this program works.
Communication - Policies and procedures of a Return-to-Work program should be carefully developed and made public throughout the organization. Maintain communication with injured workers, supervisors and medical care providers throughout the recovery process.
NYSIF provides Return-to-Work materials including implementation guidelines, sample policy statement and necessary forms and letters. Our Field Services and Claims departments provide technical assistance in helping implement your program.
