As disability-related costs increase, workplaces struggle with re-integrating workers with disabilities. Return to Work (RTW) education simplifies this process by focusing on RTW as a Health & Safety issue that must respect the fundamental principles of human rights. This workshop utilizes research-based RTW practices to equip participants with effective tools and strategies to improve the facilitation of successful work reintegration outcomes.
-
In this course participants will:
- Identify how the duty to accommodate does not guarantee an outcome but requires a process.
- Develop a process that performs an individual investigation of a worker with disabilities’ needs and characteristics.
- Practice the development of creative solutions that lead to reasonable accommodation.
- Learn the legal responsibilities of the employer, unions and workers in the accommodation process so that a collaborative approach can be adopted.
- Explore the paradigm shift from managing disability to preventing work disability that integrates health & safety practices with return to work solutions to produce a new proactive approach to RTW that will result in lower human and financial costs.
