Supporting Employee’s Attendance
Leads to Improved Productivity
| Disability management concentrates
on assisting disabled employees in returning to health, work and
productivity in a safe and timely manner. The process involves
establishing realistic goals, facilitating appropriate health care,
arranging appropriate accommodation in the workplace and preventing
further deterioration. Having employees away from the workplace
can cost your company in bottom line profits and sales. But
what is your duty to accommodate? How far should you go and
what resources will you need to meet your duty to accommodate?
As occupational therapists with extensive
industrial experience your employees will be provided with client
centred and business centred return to work strategies. Your
company has the need to ensure that it meets its duty to accommodate
individuals with disabilities. Our team will provide you with
the expertise and practical knowledge to ensure that you have met
your due diligence in every situation.

Workplace accidents and costly claims
can be reduced through the systematic implementation of ergonomic
strategies in the workplace. Repetitive Strain Injuries and
Back Injuries are the most costly injuries in the workplace today
making up to 40% of all WSIB claims. (WSIB, 2003) Most of the soft tissue injuries
that occur can be reduced through implementation of ergonomic solutions
costing on average $500.
While each industry has a unique
set of ergonomic concerns as well as regulatory requirements, Gowan
Health Consultants provide a full range of ergonomic assessments
with flexible solutions for both short-term and long-term
prevention.
