Staying in Touch with the Injured Employee
|
|
Management and the injury coordinator must stay in touch with injured employees who are on TD or out of work. Here are some approaches the injury coordinator can use to stay in touch.
- First Day Phone Call. This should be casual and the injury coordinator should ask open-ended questions. Our book, "Workers Compensation Management Program: Reduce costs 20-50%"has a First Day Phone Call document to help structure the kinds of open-ended questions you can ask your injured employee, and help you diary all responses.
- Get-Well Card. Sending a simple Get-Well Card conveys employer concern for the welfare of the employee, plus it does wonders by lifting the injured employee's spirits.
Get employees to participate in work-related functions. Often out-of-work employees lose touch with work and become "psychologically disemployed" so keep them involved. They tend to see themselves as set apart from the job even though their employer continues to assume financial responsibility for them.
Stay in touch by ensuring injured employees attend weekly meetings and continue to participate in work-related functions to the extent they are physically able to do so.
