WCB NS: RTW Planning – From Injury to Return to Work

This webinar focuses on return-to-work (RTW) planning and the important role employers play in supporting an early, safe, and sustainable return to work for injured employees.

WCB NS will discuss practical strategies employers can use to help employees remain at work or return to work as soon as possible. Topics will include an overview of graduated return-to-work (GRTW) planning, the distinction between modified hours and modified job demands, and the benefits of initiating the RTW process early.

The session will also review the claims management process and explore how proactive employer involvement can positively influence recovery outcomes. Participants will gain a better understanding of how facilitating a safe return to work, even before formal direction is received from a healthcare provider or WCB, can support employee recovery while helping to manage claim costs.
