An estimated 29.8 million working days were lost in 2003/04 through illness caused or made worse by work.
Zurich Rehabilitation is an innovative approach to injury management which brings together traditional insurance, risk management and injury management to help your employees return to work sooner. It's all about working with you to manage the cost of business risk.
Zurich Rehabilitation is suitable for most injuries arising from workplace accidents and offers immediate access to professional medical expertise.
Reducing costs by reducing the impact of accidents
As well as demonstrating a commitment to the wellbeing of your employees, this early intervention can help reduce the cost of accidents to your organisation. For example, loss of earnings can form a large part of a claim. By reducing the length of time an employee is absent from work, Zurich Rehabilitation can have a big effect on the final costs.
There are a number of hidden costs for organisations to consider, such as loss of productivity, retraining, overtime or recruiting additional staff. Whilst an employer’s liability policy covers compensation and legal costs, your organisation has to pay the rest. Organisations must also consider resulting increased premiums and compensation payments.
Whilst also providing benefits for an organisation, early medical intervention enables an injured employee to return to work quicker, reducing their physical discomfort and potential long-term mental anguish.
Our experienced and highly qualified team
The service, based in our Medical Management Centre, provides access to our experienced Rehabilitation Case Managers (RCMs), so they can talk to you knowledgeably and help to find the right answer for each specific case.
