Rehabilitation Of Injured Workers Boosts The Bottom Line

 

 Rehabilitation Of Injured Workers Boosts The Bottom Line


The work world is changing. More and more, workplaces are recognizing the importance of work-life balance and reducing the hours workers put in. But injured employees can't be given time off. They need to be able to perform their job, but they can't do it at their usual level while recovering. That's why a lot of employers are investing in rehabilitation programs, and the benefits can be huge.

For example, employee absenteeism drops by 30% when employees undergo rehabilitation for back pain or other injuries. And rehabilitation is cheaper than other health care costs typical with workplace injury patients: only $2,000 for lost productivity per person annually compared to a hospital stay that would cost $5,700 per year. Companies are finding that even the cost of rehabilitation is less than 10% of what hospitals costs.

In order to be successful, rehabilitation needs to be part of the workplace culture. That's why employers need to understand what their employees want when it comes to their work environment and how they feel about their jobs. If an employee feels their job has been too stressful or toxic for them, then it's time for change!

That's why employers should take a look at our new infographic, "The Top 10 Injured Workers' Rights at Work" to find out more about how these rights can help injured workers and everyone else in the workplace by providing them with an improved work environment while they're recovering. The infographic is a great way to get started with your workplace injury program and get everyone on the same page as to what you expect from injured workers. You can also learn more about how to obtain a workers' compensation claim in Colorado.

We worked with Helping Hands, a nonprofit organization working with injured and disabled military service members, veterans and family caregivers, to create this new infographic that has all of the important facts about the 10 rights we all have at work. By understanding these rights, employers can come together as a team against workplace injuries, helping everyone involved in the process feel better about their job and rest easier at night knowing that their employer is using every resource it has at its disposal to help them recover.

So please check out our infographic and share it with your colleagues. Many workplaces have already started their own rehabilitation programs and are seeing the benefits, but we need to spread the word that these programs exist so more employers can get involved. If you work in a field where you're expected to lift heavy objects, then it's more important than ever that you learn about what your rights are when it comes to workplace injury. Please share this infographic on social media to spread the word.
