Return to Work Services

An occupational therapist can complete an employee assessment and provide recommendations for workplace accommodations, if needed, and a return to work plan. This can help to reduce time spent away from work, and decrease insurance costs for the employer.

In some cases, a return to work program starts at home, where OT intervention can assist your employee to develop healthy daily routines that prepare them for a successful return to the workplace.

In addition, an OT can work with your employee to address barriers affecting their return to employment. These may include:

• Conditions such as depression or anxiety
• Physical injuries and chronic pain
• Problems with focus, attention, or short term memory
• Psychosocial and environmental factors.
