Figure 2 Strong Commitment/RTW Policy Attribute #1 - Key Research: The organizational culture is reflected in a policy and indicates that safety and health is prioritized alongside productivity and quality control. A policy is a statement of the commitment to safety and health and prevention (primary and secondary) of injury/illness in the workplace. All members of an organization need to be aware and informed of the safety and health program including policies, procedures, roles, responsibilities, training and resources. The written policy should be signed by the highest level of management and displayed within the organization in an area where it can be viewed by the employer, manager/supervisor, worker and the public. (“Towards an Effective and Efficient Regional Occupational health Program for the Health Care Sector in Winnipeg”, disability Prevention and Management Guidelines for Health Care – 2003) From the onset, employer commitment and involvement in disability prevention and management are considered central to the success of disability management. (Chan and Leahy, 1999) Managerial policies, practices and attitudes are related to, and perhaps have a causal effect on, workplace safety. (Geldart et al – 2010) Strong organizational disability management policies and practices are particularly salient for work accommodation offers, whereas longer job tenure is particularly salient for acceptance of offers. For policy-makers, this suggests that early on in the RTW process, more attention needs to be placed on job-level factors, workplace-level factors and policy about mandatory work accommodation to improve work disability outcomes.

Survey Attributes 1. Commitment Policy Research has shown that a successful RTW program must start with a strong commitment from the workplace leadership (management and unions). One method of demonstrating this commitment is jointly developing a RTW Policy or mission statement (usually one page) that defines the commitment of the parties. The questions were designed to assist in determining the commitment of everyone in the workplace regarding a fair and equitable RTW Process.
