AI and Return to Work Training
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the workplace, yet many organizations are unsure about how to leverage emerging technologies within their return-to-work and disability management practices. As employers face increasing demands for timely accommodations, effective case management, and sustainable return-to-work outcomes, AI offers new opportunities to enhance decision-making, streamline processes, and support employees while maintaining a human-centred approach.

Participants will explore how AI can be responsibly integrated into return-to-work programs to improve efficiency, support accommodation planning, enhance communication, and strengthen workplace outcomes.
