Helping to get your employees back to where they want to be

It’s about managing your costs

Most employees who are absent from work want to return, and you need them back. The costs you bear mount with every additional day of absence. Actively managing cases from the first day of absence until the employee successfully returns to work reduces the duration of the absence and improves the likelihood of a sustained return. As your partner, we bring a full spectrum of services that either fill gaps in your current practice, or help you build a full end to end disability management process, unique to your organization. We offer our evidence-based continuum of care and assessment as well as our multi-disciplinary teams of psychologists, physicians, clinicians and other health professionals who are equipped with the tools to help return your employees, and your organization, to health and productivity.

The Homewood Difference

We use a more comprehensive multidisciplinary team approach. Our team of health professionals is comprised of psychiatrists, occupational health professionals, clinical managers, psychologists, physicians and specialized clinicians who work together to positively impact functioning and clinical outcomes. Our goal is to expedite treatment, decrease duration of illness and support a sustainable return to work.

Return to Work

Effective return to work support must go beyond ‘managing’ disability to include timely access to treatment. However, research shows that treatment alone does not necessarily lead to successful return to work outcomes: it is the combination of optimal treatment and work focused rehabilitation that produces a positive return to work.

Assessments

Various assessments are all premised on the understanding that disability is not just a medical issue. It’s also important to know how the employee thinks and feels about their disability, and to understand workplace factors that influence return to work. Our assessments combine a clinical interview with testing using a wide range of tools to provide a comprehensive picture of the employee's medical condition, and the impact that the condition has on function as it applies to work.
