Return-to-Work Module

Most Workers Compensation Boards report that injured workers can return to some type of work even while they are still recovering. Returning to daily work and life activities can actually help in the recovery process. In fact, worldwide research shows that the longer a worker is off work due to injury or illness, the less likelihood there is of that person returning to work. The same is true for non-work related illnesses and injuries.

This is the ultimate win/win for employers who want to reduce the costs of absences and medical indemnities. The ill or injured worker benefits by restoring his or her source of income and staying active and productive, both of which are important to the healing/recovery process.

You benefit by having your highly trained and experienced employees on the job and making a productive contribution to the bottom line.

ATOMS Workplace Productivity Toolbox contains return-to-work tools found nowhere else. Only ATOMS offers:

RTW case management: ATOMS allows you to keep case notes and records or conversations in one place. ATOMS allows you to set important deadlines and follow-up dates with automated email reminders. Good communication is an essential element of a successful return-to-work program. ATOMS keeps you organized and streamlines tracking and notification.

Task Bank®: Only ATOMS gives you a way to develop return-to-work assignments that match the physical demands of work with the returning employee’s medical restrictions. We can show you how to identify productive tasks, assess the physical demands and load them into a simple data base.

RTW plans: Perhaps the most important communication element is a return-to-work plan that details the specifics of the work assignment, the employee’s responsibilities and your company’s return-to-work policies. With ATOMS these plans are simple to produce and are stored with the associated case notes.

Let us help you develop a comprehensive return-to-work program.
