6. Identify return-to-work opportunities including part-time or alternate duties.

Why do this?

Facilitating a healthy and safe return-to-work for disabled members benefits not only the individual but also their coworkers and the entire school community.

What to do:

  • Regularly review Desjardins’ monthly employee listing and collaborate to identify members who could benefit from return-to-work opportunities, including part-time or alternate duties.

  • Reach out to these members to discuss tasks they can safely perform that would not delay their recovery. Work collaboratively as a team, including members, to create and implement return-to-work plans.

  • Ensure that return-to-work efforts are inclusive and are not primarily focused on members with WorkSafeBC-related absences.
