The right balance between claims management and return to work is essential in the design of transitional work programs. The legislative expectation is to "accommodate"/re-employ any and all workers following a disability.

Cowan Insurance Group's transitional work program provides a framework for the placement of partially disabled or recovering employees into meaningful, productive work within the organization. We assist employers as they balance the well-being of its staff, recognizing that an early return to work enhances the opportunity for successful rehabilitation.
