FAQs
Our Gradual Return to Work Programme recognises that an employee who has been off work for some time may not immediately be able to perform their duties at pre-illness or injury levels. To facilitate their return, a personalised Programme is created, focusing on their recovery within the workplace. This Programme aims to help employees gradually reintegrate into their job, maintain a successful re-entry, and minimise the impact on both their wellbeing and the business.
You can request a Gradual Return to Work Programme for any employee recovering from an illness or injury (Non-ACC Funded) by contacting us and submitting the necessary AIM referral form. The process includes an initial workplace assessment to gather information about the employee's condition, treatment, and pre-illness duties, and establishing a gradual return to work plan. We also provide further input/interventions and/or monitoring should this be necessary.
The Programme increases the chances of a successful re-entry into the workplace, focusing on getting your employee back to work as quickly, safely, and sustainably as possible. It minimises the financial impact for both parties and reduces the disruption to the employee's daily life and your business operations. Employee privacy is maintained, and additional health professional input is considered if necessary and with your approval.
