    Why You Need A Return To Work Program

    Imagine coming into work and not having to figure out what to do with an injured employee who is on restricted modified duty and can no longer do their normal job tasks. That's the power of a return to work program.

     

    An effective return to work (RTW) program is your pathway to incorporating injured employees back into the workplace and not lose them to a cycle of staying home and extending the disability timeframe. Light Duty Pathway® retains personnel by providing short term modified tasks and safety training on-site for physically restricted workers. Our light duty solution benefits both the employer and the employee.

    The advantages of an RTW program for employers:

    Preserve Your Employees

    A disheartened employee that is without work for an extended period of time is likely to lose hope and delay their return. By keeping them integrated with our light-duty work pathway, you can keep morale high and retain valuable employees.

    Minimize Turnover

    Our employee pathway allows you to speed up the process of returning injured employees, replacing the need to hire and train temporary employees that will cost time and money.

    Improve Relations

    By implementing our process, your employees will feel valued and protected, knowing you care for their welfare and job security.

    Increased Productivity

    While an injured employee may not be able to perform the normal duties of their job, returning to work will be much more efficient and productive than staying at home.

    Reduce Costs

    Injured employees who return to work part-time will collect fewer disability benefits than they would have if they remained at home. Thus, an RTW program can help reduce your worker's compensation costs. To add, dealing with a workers compensation insurance company is not a fun process.

    Skill Retention

    Light duty work helps injured employees retain valuable skills. Upon return from injury, workers can be confident in accomplishing their usual day to day tasks.

    Workers' Compensation Can Be Costly.

    Business saving money on workers' compensation

    The costs associated with disability due to work-related injuries can be immense! You can proactively manage those costs by implementing a return to work program. Supplying light-duty work helps reduce the costs associated with injuries, including increased disability and medical payments, litigation rates, and insurance premiums. 

     

    (In states where applicable) L&I offers reimbursement to small businesses and large corporations that bring an employee back to work with light duty. Reimbursement is 50% of base wages paid to an injured worker on light-duty work. That implies more capital returned to your company for supplying modified work to injured employees! Learn more about how you can reduce workers' compensation with light-duty.

    Supplying modified work that helps an injured employee feel valued for their contributions not only helps the morale of the worker but also cuts the cost of insurance and turnover.
