How does a Disability Management/Return to Work Program assist the injured worker in making a recovery to return to his/her regular duty?

Statistics indicate that the longer an employee is unable to work in any capacity, the more difficult it becomes for him/her to return to regular-duty employment. Generally, employers that administer disability management/return to work initiatives have injured workers that are more likely to return to regular duty quicker and less likely to become treatment dependent.
