Return-to-Work Program Development
Help employees return to work safely and sustainably with our fully customizable return-to-work program.
A structured pathwayback to productivity
At Zurich Resilience Solutions, we understand that managing employee return-to-work (RTW) can be a complex challenge. From regulatory compliance to operational continuity, organizations face mounting pressures to support injured or ill employees in rejoining the workforce swiftly and safely. Our Return-to-Work Program Development service is designed to meet these challenges head-on with comprehensive, ADA-compliant solutions tailored to your organization’s unique workforce and operational needs.
Our program provides end-to-end support — from policy creation and physical demands analysis (PDA) to formal job documentation and stakeholder engagement. We partner with your HR, EHS, and supervisory teams to design and implement a structured process that promotes early, appropriate, and sustained employee reintegration.
Unlike reactive programs that begin weeks into a disability claim, our methodology encourages immediate action. A well-executed return-to-work strategy not only minimizes time away from work but also improves recovery outcomes, morale, and overall productivity. With increasing scrutiny from regulatory bodies such as the EEOC and OSHA, a proactive and compliant approach is more critical than ever.
Our work is grounded in field expertise and a scalable framework that incorporates your existing absence management programs, ensuring a seamless fit within your operational environment. And because our return-to-work services are provided directly through Zurich Resilience Solutions, you benefit from deep industry knowledge, in-house capabilities, and consistent program oversight.
Program benefits that drive results
A thoughtfully developed return-to-work program provides far-reaching benefits that extend across your organization. When implemented effectively, these programs can shorten disability durations, reduce lost-time expenses, and promote workplace wellbeing.
Studies show that comprehensive return-to-work programs can yield a return on investment of up to 3:1, while decreasing disability duration by 20–30% and supporting a 92% return-to-work rate. Our approach empowers organizations to realize these gains by focusing on both operational and human outcomes
