Return to Work / Partnership with Employers Working Group

The WG has been set up to refocus EPR’s work on services and tools/instruments by our members targeted to support employers, to continue earlier work on return-to-work programmes and to take up, where relevant, activities done in the last years in the framework of the dedicated Disability Management Working Group. The WG thematic focus lays in working with employers who aim to support their staff facing the impacts of an accident or chronic disease and their return to work and actively exchanging the tools to support employers with effectively rolling out and implementing disability management in their companies.
