Many organizations, however, question whether bringing back a worker during this time is beneficial and, if it is, what’s the best way to do it. A webinar from our work comp experts lays out how beneficial a transitional return-to-work program can be for your organization and for injured employees. Developing a transitional return-to-work program can eliminate questions of how to handle injured workers who come back with restrictions. It also helps an organization limit their work comp costs. Injured employees benefit because they remain connected to their workplace which can speed up their healing. Check out our webinar for lots of great information about how to create and implement a transitional return-to-work program. ### Webinar Key Points 1:05-What is transitional return to work (TRTW)? 3:36- Employee benefits of TRTW: Maintain full earning capacity, maintain benefits accrual, keeps employees engaged with supervisors and work 4:25-Employer benefits of TRTW: Enhances communication, reduces productivity loss, reduces cost of injuries, reduces WC premium costs long-term 22:10-Psychosocial factors that impact TRTW 28:27-Roles and responsibilities in TRTW program: For employers, managers, and employees 39:26-Identifying TRTW tasks: Be creative, find meaningful work within restrictions 43:38-List of TRTW task examples **Topics:** [Workers' Compensation](https://www.thesilverlining.com/businessblog/blog/topic/workers39-compensation) If you’re a content writer and would like to contribute to our blog, click [here](https://www.thesilverlining.com/content-contributor-agreement) to read our guidelines. ![Kayla Eggert, AINS, ARM](https://www.thesilverlining.com/hubfs/images/Kayla-Eggert-blog-author.jpg) #### Kayla Eggert, AINS, ARM Kayla Eggert began her insurance career at West Bend in 2014 as an underwriting tech, but quickly moved into the Loss Control department as a loss control assistant.
