Our Purpose

            

We, the members of the Wisconsin Consortium on Promoting Stay at Work and Return to Work, have come together in order to:

Promote the creation of a Wisconsin-specific work disability prevention process for disability benefits and workers’ compensation systems based on the American College of Occupational & Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) recommendations entitled "Preventing Needless Work Disability by Helping People Stay Employed".

Establish an effective mechanism for getting the common-sense and evidence-based recommendations made in the ACOEM document off the paper and into everyday use.

Create a broad-based local group of volunteers committed to propagating this new way of thinking throughout Wisconsin.
