Great return to work outcomes start with confident supervisors.
When a workplace injury occurs, frontline supervisors play a critical role in influencing recovery, engagement and successful return to work outcomes. Yet many supervisors have never received formal training in injury management.
That’s why we are excited to be running our next Supervisor Injury Management Training at Nabenet.
Unlike in-house programs that require larger groups, our open registration session allows employers to send as little as one supervisor or manager to receive practical, evidence-based training in return to work best practice.
During this interactive 3-hour session, participants will learn:
– The supervisor’s role in injury management and return to work
– Best practice return to work principles
– How to respond immediately following a workplace injury
– Early intervention and effective communication
– Managing both physical and psychological workplace injuries
– Identifying and supporting suitable duties
Thursday 17th September
1:00pm – 4:00pm
Nabenet, Level 2, 108 Power Street, Hawthorn
Limited to 16 attendees
Whether you are looking to develop a new leader or strengthen the capability of an experienced supervisor, this session provides practical tools that can be applied immediately in the workplace.
