Return-to-Work Program Development by Genex

Help employees get back to work safely, speedily and sustainably with a comprehensive return-to-work program.

Overview

Your return-to-work process should be as speedy and smooth as possible, while staying compliant with increasingly complex state and federal mandates.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) obliges you to treat employee disabilities consistently whatever their cause, and whether they are work-related or non-occupational. That means you should have a formal process in place to follow whenever there’s an absence.

Genex will work with your HR and EHS teams, as well as other key stakeholders, to create a project plan. This will include devising the return-to-work policy and procedure development, a physical demands analysis and job analysis for job titles and identifying any temporary transitional task opportunities.

Genex will then write a formal return-to-work program and complete all PDA/JA, collaborating with your stakeholders until all the documents are approved. All the reports will be provided digitally and can be cataloged in a cloud-based job bank. The timeframe for the project will follow the estimate Genex provided following the initial consultation.
