Establishing a return to work (RTW) policy and/or program of inclusion and stay at work is not difficult. Some companies already include many of the policies unofficially in the way they handle claims. It is important, however, to execute these programs correctly. Clear guidelines and specific, consistent policies must be established in writing as a mean of workplace quality. Managers should be trained and people with responsibility to handle the RTW of workers should be identified and trained.
A successful RTW training program can be carried out either online or face-to-face.
For online RTW training the company’s intranet may be used. The online training may consist of several parts, each of which, focusing on different topics.
