July 2010 Take Your Return To Work Program Up A Notch: Building A Roadmap For Action

July 19, 2010: Hyannis, MA

Executive Summary: The purpose of this one-day workshop is to give you an opportunity to build a roadmap using
new ideas and evidence-based best practices to increase the effectiveness of your return to work efforts – and improve
outcomes. You will be able to use this customized roadmap when you get back to your office. If you are already delivering
services or have a program in place and are looking for ways to make it even better, this workshop is designed for you.

Learning Objectives: At the completion of this seminar you will be able to:
• Identify the core concepts of an effective return to work program
• Assess your current situation
• Build organizational commitment to a successful return to work program
• Develop your action plan
• Select the best tools, procedures, methods, and resources to build an effective return to work program, and
• Identify the qualities of outstanding SAW/RTW staff

Dr. Jennifer Christian will be leading the workshop, which will leave you inspired and re-energized by day’s end. She is an
internationally-known expert with a passion for preventing and reducing needless work disability, and a board-certified
occupational medicine physician. She is a popular and straight-spoken speaker/teacher for a wide range of audiences.
This fast-paced day will begin with an overview of the new work disability prevention model, with its fresh ideas and best
practices for improving the stay-at-work and return-to-work process. The model is evidence-based and is already producing
better results in the real world for those who employ it.

Next, you will complete an assessment that will highlight the implications of the new model for your own operation. You will
spot opportunities for improvement and start putting together your roadmap. The rest of the workshop will help you identify
the particular places in your organization where something specific is missing today that, if added, would really move things
forward. A unique feature of this workshop is its range: we will move from the realm of ideas and words (world views, human behavior, persuasive communications, and relationship-building) to the concrete realm of tools and methods (training,
everyday processes, resources, technology, and data) – and how to make the best use of all of them. In addition to your
interactions with Dr. Christian, you will have opportunities to share your challenges, hear others’ experiences, and offer each
other ideas in several small group discussions and Q&A sessions. You will leave with your own roadmap for improvement:
a list of opportunities and specific plans for filling the gaps and strengthening the weak spots in your program – so you can
take it “up a notch.”
