The tremendous diversity of social security institutions has produced a broad range of experience which is used as a valuable learning resource for return-to-work policy and programming.
Guideline code
RTW_00700
Mechanism
Mechanism
- The management should engage in a global review of return-to-work programmes, policies and procedures in order to obtain a solid understanding of critical considerations, positive and negative organizational experience, and key success factors. Global experience, coupled with solid assessment of discrete statistical, labour market, regulatory and cultural factors within its own jurisdiction, should shape an appropriate return-to-work approach.
- The management should engage in a process of continuous quality improvement to ensure that return-to-work programmes reflect evolving international best practice.
- The bilateral exchange of rehabilitation managers from different social security institutions around the world can facilitate the implementation of the process of return to work.
Structure
Structure
- Prior to deploying a return to work policy and programme, the management should ensure that its proposed return-to-work framework is carefully aligned to and reflective of considered good practice approaches in other jurisdictions, adapted to the individual characteristics of its own jurisdiction.
- International conferences such as the biennial International Forum on Disability Management (IFDM) should be used as a platform for knowledge transfer in terms of beginning return-to-work programmes and identifying appropriate good practice models as potential cooperation partners.
