Session Description

Leave and Light Duty: From Work Comp to Personal to Pregnancy

Leave Management is hard work.  From workers’ compensation and personal injuries to personal medical conditions, how do you build programming that manages and perhaps lessens leave by assisting injured or disabled employees to return to work or even stay at work in some cases with or without accommodations?  Rachel provides proven strategies and methods which have been implemented in more than 200 agencies across the nation.  Start with understanding what your mission is.  End with consistently applying a sound practice that supports the organization to support needed leave, reduce unnecessary leave whenever possible, and create a culture that knows attendance matters and employees matter.
