Managers' Role In Rtw

摘要

Research to examine the role of line managers in the return to work of employees following sickness absence is being funded by the British Occupational Health Research Foundation.The research, carried out by a team from Goldsmiths, University of London, will explore how various manager behaviours either facilitate, or act as a barrier to, employee return to work following cancer, back pain, heart disease or depression and anxiety.rnThe project focuses on six sectors: manufacturing, education, finance, central and local government, transport and healthcare. The team is looking to recruit organisations, as well as individual managers and employees to take part in the study.Two half-day workshops for OH practitioners will examine current practice and experience as well as expert opinion on the role of line managers in workplace rehabilitation.
