“A written return to work program is proactive. It allows both the employer and the employee to “buy into” the program. It reduces lost time, lost wages and legal costs. If implemented properly it creates a win/win environment for all parties. This book takes a step-wise, common sense approach to an emotional topic. It spells out how to minimize the costs and headaches of work-related accidents in an easy to understand format, which can be implements by all employers.” – Dr. Richard Spirer, MD – Acting Medical Director, Physicians Health Center – Miami

“Employers need to have well-established, written policies that can be used throughout the handling of the workers’ compensation claim and the return to work process. The greatest challenge for employers is getting front-line supervisors, to buy into the value and tremendous benefits of a return to work program.”
“Simply put, this book is a “must read” for any employer doing business in Florida – and who want to get a grip on their workers compensation program. It provides companies with proven strategies which can and will result in lower workers’ compensation premiums, lower settlements and far better control of their annual cost….employers want to do the right thing and what is most cost effective. This book tells them how to accomplish both – what is right and what is cost effective.” – Kurt A. Wyland, Esq. Partner, Walton Lantaff Schroeder & Carson, LLP
