Stay at Work / Return to Work Process Model

The SAW/RTW model is a proactive way for employers to support and assist employees so they can stay or return to work as soon as possible. It is based on the perspective that many people can work as part of their therapy, recovery or stabilization process.

Employees may be asked to perform modified duties during their recovery process. For employees that have been away from the job, SAW/RTW helps employees integrate back into the workforce earlier than conventional models.

The SAW/RTW program does not replace existing prevention programs; it works in conjunction with them to provide guidance if a health related incident occurs.

Save the date Attend to SAW/RTW orientation sessions on August 17th.
