For more than 20 years, the Employment Injury Insurance scheme for workers has provided cash benefits/compensation. In 2014, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan was mandated to reform its social security system. In order to fulfill that mandate, we proposed the Return to Work Programme to the Indonesian Government as a part of social security reform that provides a holistic approach.
In order to achieve service excellence, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan developed a new service blue print putting prime concern on three aspects: People, Process, Physical Evidence.
