Following injury, a worker may be unable to return to their pre-injury occupation either temporarily or long term. This problem can be resolved by trialling a worker in a new vocation. A work trial assesses suitability of employment and helps to facilitate a successful return to work outcome. Labour market research is used in conjunction with this to further indicate the suitability of employment options for the worker. Edge People Management will access a work trial for the worker and monitor the trial to completion. We support both the worker and the host employer to enhance work trial outcomes.
To enhance a worker’s prospective return to the workforce, a work trial can be organised to assess a worker’s capacity to work, as well as give them confidence to return to a productive working environment. The process of sourcing ‘host employers’, i.e. suitably placing a worker into a physically appropriate job role and supervising their progress, is termed placement services. Edge People Management provides placement services to complement its extensive range of injury management products.
Our Job Search Skills Training program assists individuals to acquire job seeking competencies such as résumé preparation, interview technique, cover and expression of interest letter writing, and personal presentation skills.
