Return To Work Case Studies

By: Cheryl Griffiths

A broad selection from the case studies available on RTW Matters

As anyone engaged in return to work will know, no two cases are ever the same because of
the many influencing factors. While most people return to work without difficulty, other people
with the same injury or illness can find return to work a challenge. Why is this so?

By looking at case studies we can begin to understand the stories behind the outcomes and
learn how to identify positive and negative influences affecting employees within our own
workplaces.

We found it difficult to limit the case studies below to one category and so we've selected the 3
main keywords / influences within the cases as the descriptor.

While you may be dealing with an employee with a back injury, it's worth reading cases on other
injuries to see the different approaches to factors such as relationships, communication or
processes and systems.
