Political, business and labour leaders agree — initiatives that support return to work of disabled workers and to control the rising costs of disability are critical to Canadian businesses. Workplace-based disability management programs are proving to be one of the most powerful tools companies can use to minimize the negative socio-economic impact of disability while maintaining a competitive advantage in our increasingly globalized economy.
Strategies for Success is a unique compilation of Canadian and international perspectives on disability management and demonstrates the growing worldwide awareness of the importance of disability issues. The book features the views of key business, labour and government representatives* including:
The Honourable Pierre Pettigrew, Ministry of Human Resources Development, Canada
The Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Ministry of Labour, Canada
Horst Günther, MdB, Parliamentary State Secretary, Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, Germany
The Honourable Glen Clark, Premier, British Columbia
Robert White, President, Canadian Labour Congress
Adam Zimmerman, Retired Chair, Noranda Forest Inc.
Strategies for Success features thoughtful articles by contributing writers from business, labour, workers’ compensation, private and public insurance providers and the medical community, that describe their perspectives on disability management in three major sections:
International Perspectives
Canadian Issues
Case Studies
Strategies for Success: Disability Management in the Workplace is of interest to corporate and labour leaders seeking leading edge examples of successful initiatives that control costs and minimize the personal, social and economic impact of disability. All stakeholders in the return-to-work process — the disabled worker, the occupational health and safety officer, the disability management practitioner, labour and management representatives, medical and rehabilitation providers and insurance providers — will benefit from an improved understanding of each other’s roles. Concerned individuals, disability management experts, and disability advocacy organizations will find a wealth of information related to the integration and reintegration of persons with disabilities.
