Both the employer and employee are greatly affected by the employee being on a workers’ compensation leave of absence.  Considering the many direct and indirect costs of administering and managing an employee’s workers’ comp, returning the employee to work and caring for the employee’s sustainment are vital to meet business needs long-term.

This webinar will review:

  • The costs of leave of absence
  • RTW strategies
  • Program management
  • Impacts on the business
