Why you should use the Return to Work survey
Understand the physical, emotional and mental wellbeing of newly returned workers.
Whatever the reason for extended absence from work - parental leave, illness or disability - returning can be a pressure point for employees and organisations. It’s important to open dialogue and give them a place to share their experience, perspective on how the organisation supported them and if they have what they need.
