Two of the most difficult issues in meeting your duty to accommodate are managing the return-to-work process effectively and dealing with employee stress and mental health issues. Infonex's conferences on meeting the duty to accommodate have helped hundreds of HR professionals find solutions for successful disability management and resolve accommodation issues in their workplaces.
Now we're happy to announce two focused one-day events that will provide you with answers on two pressing issues: (1) accommodating stress and mental health in the workplace, and (2) return-to-work processes for employee reintegration in the workplace.
Managing Stress and Mental Health in the Workplace
Improving Conditions, Increasing Productivity, and Accommodating Your Workforce
Managing workplace stress and mental disability not only ensures productivity and improves employee morale but is also required under the duty to accommodate. With employers and unions increasingly being held legally and financially liable on this front, you need to ensure your accommodation policies are up to par. INFONEX's Managing Stress and Mental Health in the Workplace will address the new challenge of the increasing number of mental health claims and the growing burden of workplace stress on employee health and productivity.
Examine new strategies and approaches currently being used to address the growing epidemic of psychological and stress-induced illness in the workplace, and learn how to provide a healthy and productive work environment for everyone. Get the solutions you need to identify, prevent, and remove barriers facing persons with stress and mental health disabilities and improve the wellbeing of your workforce, while meeting accommodation requirements.

Effective Return-to-Work Strategies
Ensuring a Smooth Reintegration of Employees with Minimal Disruption
Rising insurance premiums, and more workers going from short-term to long-term disability, make it difficult to maintain your cost and productivity levels. As an employer, your objective is to help employees return to work and return to productivity quickly after a leave. However, pressures to bring employees back to work could trigger additional lost time, if employees are not reintegrated effectively in the workplace. You need to prepare effective company policies and successfully ease employees into the return-to-work process to ensure their continued health and success.
Effective Return-to-Work Strategies will teach you how to balance the needs of your employees and the interests of your enterprise. Learn techniques that will help you get the performance you need from employees, while fostering recovery and rehabilitation. Get solutions to the barriers that delay your employees' return to pre-injury duties, speed up your reintegration process, and discover how to avoid creating accommodation loopholes that restrict productivity.
- Learn how to design an effective return-to-work transition program
- Explore solutions for reintegrating employees returning from disability leave
