White Paper Details Best Practices for Returning Employees to Work

A white paper from Liberty Mutual and Disability Management Employer Coalition discusses best practices to effectively return employees to work. The Best Practices in Return to Work 2011 Leadership Series white paper provides human resource professionals with tools for strengthening return-to-work programs, managing related costs and increasing employee productivity. A couple best practices discussed are:
  • Adopt an integrated disability and absence management strategy and provide more consistent procedures for both work-related and non-work-related situations.
  • Implement a structured transitional work program that can provide return to work options and accommodate modified duty assignments for both occupational and non-occupational cases.
Visit Liberty Mutual's Group Benefits website in the Resources for Brokers and Employers section to read the complete white paper.
