The benefits of a Return to Work (RTW) program are numerous. Medical providers play a key role in the success of returning an injured employee back to work as soon as is medically capable. 

Studies show that RTW programs help injured employees heal more quickly and completely while reducing depression and alleviate emotional stress.  Most employees look forward to adding to the productivity of their company through transitional duties. They welcome the chance to be back alongside their friends and co-workers as soon as is medically appropriate. 

In addition, workers’ compensation insurance payments cover just two-thirds of an injured employee’s pay. By returning to work as soon as possible, injured employees receive their normal compensation sooner, minimizing lost wages and time.
