Why Return-to-Work?
Some employers will read our cover story and think, “Return-to-work sure sounds like a good idea for my company. But we just don’t have the time or manpower to launch a program from the ground up.”
If you’re one of them, consider the benefits of a return-to-work process for you and your employees.
Employer benefits:
- Lower your claim costs.
- Control your premium by improving your loss history.
- Retain experienced workers. The cost of
replacing an injured employee can be 50 percent to 150 percent of the employee’s
salary.
- Reduce the costs of making up for lost
production, such as hiring extra help or
paying overtime.
Employee benefits:
- Steer clear of the stress and depression that often come with being unable to work.
- Retain their job skills, company benefits and seniority.
- Maintain their pre-injury income. Remember, workers’ compensation benefits pay only a portion of the injured employee’s salary.
- Avoid the disability mindset: “I’m injured, and I cannot work.”
