The Reality

Basically, every business organization is formed to answer the call to a market need, a value, and desire, be it for profit or non for profit. As such, making profit is the key to organization survival, development and existence. Therefore, every aspect of a business, HR, Finance, Accounting, Marketing and Sales, Management, labor, collections and safety collaborate to effectively produce and realize a corporate vision, goals and objectives, periodically(quarterly and annual benchmarks). When corporations become callus and risk safety without an implemented effective, and adequate process for RTW, the effect is a negative consequence on net financial bottom-line, an idea contrary to the strategic management plan for growth and profitability. Corporations can avoid such expense and dent to bottom-line financials by implementing effective risk management process to prevent and immediately follow up with injured workers by promoting a direction toward excellence in necessary medical and rehab care, open communications, benefits, testing and through effective and efficient process implementations to prevent and monitor work injuries and unhealthy employee risk habits with rehab that address functional deficits within a comprehensive return to work focus plan of care. These are possible and necessary to industrial survival and profitability during these crucial economical and business slow-down. It is high time that corporations and industries reevaluate their business culture and risks as a means to manage spending and improve productivity as sales a not evident to continue to soar as in the 1990s and early 2000.
