Mitch was a dedicated runner, which kept him fit for his physically demanding job as a lineman for the local power company. But then he tore a ligament in his leg, a severe injury that required him to go on short-term disability.
Mitch knew his recovery would take time. He contacted Workpartners’ dedicated disability specialist, who made sure his documentation was in order, followed up with his providers to ensure he was receiving the proper care, and connected him with a rehabilitation center close to his house.
Workpartners’ absence services save employers countless hours by handling all the administration, paperwork, and return-to-work planning.
Our absence management program can make your workforce thrive.
Concerned about losing his income, Mitch wanted to get back to work but could not yet resume his position. Mitch was happy to hear that Workpartners was able to work with his employer to find a temporary work accommodation, allowing him to develop new skills and take advantage of his years of experience with a new role in the power company. This allowed him to maintain his income and keep him engaged in the workplace.
Back to work at his new desk job, Mitch connected with a health coach to help him get active again and adapt to this new lifestyle. His coach recommended healthier food options and encouraged Mitch to take up cycling. He also engaged in the EAP services available to him to help manage the uncertainty of a new role.
Because of Workpartners’ programs and services, an injury that might have led to the loss of an experienced employee instead turned into an opportunity. Mitch returned to work sooner than expected, reducing disability cost. He transitioned into a new job, eliminating the need to hire and train a new employee. And the services and resources his company provided showed Mitch how much the organization values him.
