Rehabilitation failings

摘要

Government efforts to get the long-term sick off benefits and back to work risk being undermined by low levels of rehabilitation support in the workplace, according to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development's (CIPD) Annual Absence Management Survey 2008.rnThe survey finds nearly four in ten (36%) employers offer no rehabilitation support to help employees make successful and long-lasting returns to work. Such services are most common in thernpublic sector, where 84% of employers offer them. The figure falls to 48% in private sector services, and just 25% in organisations employing fewer than 50 people.
