It is not always possible for employers to arrange transitional-duty roles that adequately align with an injured worker’s medical restrictions. Yet the benefits of light-duty, return-to-work programs are well known. But did you know that alternative work at an off-site, nonprofit organization can similarly help return workers to productivity?
How to partner with such nonprofits is not well known. Nancy Kelly and Kimberly Wickert will walk you through the process of establishing programs for engaging recovering workers in light-duty roles at off-site, nonprofit organizations. You’ll also learn about communication protocols for keeping injured workers connected to the employer during their temporary assignment off site. Strategies for approaching and vetting local nonprofit organizations, summarizing legal considerations when partnering with nonprofit organizations and composing and communicating functional job descriptions fitting nonprofit opportunities will be discussed.
