Creating a Return to Work Process That Works for Everyone

Managing an employee’s return from leave shouldn’t feel like a scramble. But for many HR teams, it still does. Without a structured, compliant return-to-work process, employees come back confused, managers are unprepared, and critical access or equipment is missing. And if your organization is enforcing “100% healed” policies or missing key ADA or PWFA steps, you could be at risk. In this practical session, we’ll show HR leaders how to build a return-to-work experience that is compliant, supportive, and scalable. You’ll get real-world examples, best practices for coordinating with managers and IT, and guidance for aligning your process with the FMLA, the ADA, and the PWFA.

You’ll also learn:

• How return-to-work missteps affect retention, productivity, and legal exposure
• What data from our recent report reveals about the employee experience
• When accommodations are required and how to handle them the right way
• Why technology makes a measurable difference in consistency and compliance
