Employers !

Would you like some assistance in planning a worker's return to work?

Did you know that at ErgoConsult, we offer gradual return to work services for worker  who got injured in the course of their work. The conditions for a person to stop working can be physical or psychosocial.

What is a gradual return to work?

The term "gradual return" means a gradual resumption of work tasks and hours for the worker whose employment injury has consolidated.

The objective of the gradual return is to promote a better possible return to work while being accompanied by a trained occupational therapist to facilitate this transition. The health professional will be able to properly plan the worker's return to work in order to reduce the risk of relapses, recurrences or worsening of the occupational injury.

This service allows collaboration between the employer, the worker as well as with a health professional in order to facilitate a return to work following an injury. The occupational therapist will work jointly with the other health professionals involved to ensure that the gradual return to work takes into consideration the abilities / needs of the worker, the recommendations of other health professionals as well as the expectations of the employer.

ErgoConsult travels to the workplace for meetings with the employer and the worker to make sure everything runs smoothly.
