Recovery at work insider - Issue 11
Recovery through work
2021 a year in review
SIRA designed the Recovery at work insider to provide bite-sized, evidence based information on a monthly basis to return to work (RTW) coordinators, employers and other interested stakeholders with the aim of translating evidence into practice and to improve recovery at work outcomes.
Since February 2021, we have released 10 editions of the Recovery at work insider covering topics including:
- successful recovery at work strategies
- positive workplace culture
- promoting the health benefits of good work
- engaging leadership commitment to RTW
- designing and implementing effective RTW systems.
From the evidence
The information in the Recovery at work insider is based on the summary of evidence Reversing the trend-improving RTW outcomes in NSW published in 2020. This paper groups information under four key domains that influence recovery at work outcomes:
- personal
- workplace
- insurance and compensation
- health care.
In future editions SIRA will continue to use the growing evidence base to support recovery through work.
Survey feedback
In September and October 2021, we asked for your feedback about the future of the Recovery at work insider. Thank you to those who took the time to respond. The feedback was extremely constructive and useful.
The overwhelming majority of those who responded indicated you would like the Recovery at work insider to continue on a monthly basis and suggested the following could be included in future editions:
