Absences from work are costly to both employees and employers. The longer an absence lasts, the less likely an
employee may return to work. One way to stop this trend is to offer modified duties, or transitional work, to help
the employee return to the workplace.

Having a return-to-work (RTW) focus from the start (and throughout the absence) may help lower the impact of
illness and injury (e.g., stress, finances, etc.). Transitional work can be an important part of a recovery plan. Working together, we’ll find ways to support your employees and get them back to work as early as possible.
