Understanding the WSIB & its Return to Work Policies

Description

Injuries and illnesses in the workplace can be challenging, not just for the affected employees, but also for the employers who need to manage and adjust to these changes. Costs can be significant, so it is critically important to efficiently manage WSIB claims and to ensure timely and efficient return to work.

Presenters Russell MacCrimmon and Taylor Stanton of Bird Richard will discuss:

• What the WSIB is, its role, and why it matters to your business organization (coverage and compliance requirements for employers);
• What steps should an employer take following a workplace injury;
• The key components and processes involved in creating and implementing a return-to-work plan;
• The roles and responsibilities of both employers and employees in this process;
• Common challenges and practical strategies for overcoming them; and
• Available resources and best practices to ensure a successful return-to-work process.
