Project Description
Elevate your understanding of Return To Work programming with an innovative, holistic approach to employee support. There are a myriad of reasons an employee may take a leave of absence; from struggling with performance issues and enduring physical or mental health challenges, to workplace conflict and family hardship. The nature, quality and frequency of employee leaves not only impact the individual, management and accompanying human resources, it challenges the efficacy of employee assistance programs and the organization’s ability to determine competency.
During this course participants will be introduced to a dynamic, holistic approach to employee support that balances the experience of the employee and department functioning with workplace competency and EAP findings.
