Disability Management And Workers' Compensation Consulting

Disablility Managment Training Caldwell O'Hearn can design and implement return-to-work systems to assist companies to become self-sufficient in handling straight-forward workers' compensation claims. We will determine your needs, develop and document policies and procedures that define and assign responsibility for return to work activities.

A typical program may include a disability management manual, company policy, procedures, accountability framework, evaluation framework, communications plan, training materials and in-house staff training. Caldwell O'Hearn provides consulting services primarily in a train-the-trainer format to management groups and union representatives to help them become self-sufficient in this area.

Popular seminar topics include: workers' compensation legislation demystification, claims management, disability management, modified work programs, experience rating and ergonomics.

Assessments/Evaluations Transferability of Skills Assessment (TSA) - useful to determine existing skills that can be used to speed the return to work effort. The TSA identifies jobs compatible with the client's functional, vocational and intellectual abilities. Involves a labour market analysis and expected wages upon return to work. Vocational Evaluation - the goal of a vocational evaluation is to establish the evaluee's vocational profile (vocational strengths, limitations, barriers) which will then be utilized to facilitate the rehabilitation process and return to work. Labour Market Analysis - a report outlining current job existence/availability, physical demands, environmental factors, wages, demographics, qualifications required and employment trends in the client's field(s) of choice in his/her geographic area. Psycho Vocational testing - used to generate appropriate recommendations with regard to future occupational options. Recommendations typically include suggestions of possible job placement options and/or educational or retraining possibilities. In addition, comments will be made with respect to any management or intervention programs that may be required to assist the client in achieving the goals proposed. Ergonomics/Workplace design/Physical demands analysis - our long- term experience with injured worker populations has shown over 85% of pre-accident work situations can be modified at minimal cost to allow the employee to return to his/her regular job. Residual Earnings Capacity Assessment - used to determine the loss in earnings capacity incurred as a result of the illness/injury suffered by the client. Functional ability information is combined with vocational assessment and labour market data to form a profile of maximal earnings potential post- injury. The client's personal and vocational characteristics are considered in the formulation of the REC.

Job Search Training Caldwell O'Hearn offers effective training in job search techniques. Our goal is not to impart the skills necessary to find employment - our goal is to see the client employed! The four week training course, taught in an adult-learner group environment, thoroughly covers the basics of job search - goal identification, resume writing, cover letters, interview techniques, the labour market, self-assessment, applications, etc. Participants are guided through the job search process and practice interview and cold-call techniques. Caldwell O'Hearn has on staff an experienced job developer who is skilled in placing clients with disabilities.
