How long does an injured worker take to get back in the workplace?

Time is of the essence. Here's what we can tell you about how quickly an injured worker can return to work.

There is no guarantee to how much time an injured worker needs to recover and return to the workplace. Some things that would affect your employee's rate of recovery are:

  • The severity of the injury
  • How quickly the injury is attended to
  • The support provided in the workplace

The best thing you can do is to cultivate a positive and understanding work environment that can support your employee, as they focus on their recovery.
