For employers, one of the biggest challenges comes next: helping the injured employee return to work safely while managing medical restrictions, staffing needs and compliance obligations. A well-planned return-to-work program can help employees resume productive work, reduce prolonged absences and minimize the risk of another injury. But returning too quickly or without appropriate accommodations can create additional problems. **So, how can employers help employees return to work after workers' compensation leave?** These six best practices can help you develop a safer, more effective return-to-work process. So, look at the tips we’ve gathered below for handling an employee’s return to work after initial workers’ compensation processes. It might just make your employees and your lawyers a little happier. ## **6 Return To Work Best Practices** ### **1. The Return to Work Discussion Needs to Begin Early** Supervisors should contact an injured or ill employee as soon as possible and convey that they are invested in the employee’s health and that your business is committed to getting them back into working conditions as soon as possible with proper accommodations. This reduces employee anxiety about being accepted back at work and sets expectations about what returning to work will look like later. [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2652187/e9311a0a-695b-46da-b801-aa04432e05f1.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2652187/e9311a0a-695b-46da-b801-aa04432e05f1) ### 2. Communicate with Physicians You’ll need to obtain professional recommendations about when the employee can return to work and with what restrictions. In order to provide this, physicians need to have a good picture of what an employee’s duties are. Communicating with treating physicians and workers' compensation claims administrators, as permitted by applicable law, can also help determine whether additional medical review is needed or whether inconsistencies warrant investigating potential fraud. It’s also a good idea to have the medical professional tell you what the employee can do as opposed to what the employee can’t do. RELATED: [Why Health and Safety Practices in the Workplace Matter \>\>](https://blog.axcethr.com/safe-workplaces-are-good-for-employees-and-employers) ### 3. Regularly Keep in Touch with Employees Before Their Return It’s important during times like these to maintain a positive relationship between employer and employee. Regularly speaking with an employee will also keep you up-to-date on their healing process and help them adjust to work dynamics upon their return. ### 4. Make an Inventory of the Employee’s Physical Demands This should help you identify which accommodations might be most beneficial for the employee. Consult with employees in similar roles, too, since they might be aware of job demands that you are not. RELATED: [Positive Safety Cultures - Why Every Business Should Build One \>\>](https://blog.axcethr.com/positive-safety-cultures-why-every-business-should-build-one) ### 5. Get Creative with Accommodations There are many ways employees can contribute to your business even if they’re not in the physical condition they were before an injury or illness. Consider allowing an employee to telecommute or work on a modified schedule. You'll want to keep them in the same role and team as much as possible, but temporary modified duties or alternative assignments may be appropriate, provided they are consistent with the employee's medical restrictions and applicable laws. This could have the unintended benefit of cross-training your employees. ### 6. Address the Cause of the Incident Obvious? Perhaps, but before you let the employee return to their full duties, you want to be confident that the [risk of a repeat incident is minimized.](https://blog.axcethr.com/workplace-safety-risk-management) If the incident occurred because safety procedures weren’t being followed, make sure that employees are following safety procedures hereafter. If equipment malfunctioned, replace it. If additional equipment needs to be purchased, consider the investment and how it may impact the injured employee.
