While managers prefer to have theirstaff members stay at home untilthey are back at full job capacity, studies show that a phased return iscritical to long-term recovery

- Change mentalities- Allow staff membersto transition back to the workplace gradually

The longer the disability leave, the lower the probability of returning to work

Take action early on

The reason for not returning to workis often unrelated to the initial illnessand has more to do withpsychosocial factors

Guide and support people in their return to good health and to work
