We have put a lot of time and effort into making sure that our process for return to work is structured so we are getting communication and sign off from the returning employee daily, we are also a high-risk business - GP interpretation of light duties is generally not doable because in most cases you can't bend over or turn around so because of this its easier to have them stay at home.
What we come up against at times is fulltime employees having to babysit RTWEmployees and is that part of their job description!
Personally, I prefer employees to return to work fully fit - that is what we expect and strive to achieve with all our employees i.e. if you have a cold and not up to a hundred percent don't come to work. There is value in mental wellbeing to RTW granted however, good employer communication and employee participation in managing their mental wellbeing should be No 1.

Hi Don
I use a WorkSafe video at my inductions, and I find it really effective and to the point - might be a little less than what you are looking for but have a look - likely you may have seen it b4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKaMtbiQ9Io

Hi Stuart - thanks for you comments - our SOP,s are SAFE OP,s.

Defined review process - Yes we do however it is way overdue for review hence not being effective. I need to get things moving so we have process that everyone can follow. Getting all managers to agree on the same process another matter.

Currently the guys that the SOP,s are designed for don't have much input into managing or development. When a workshop covers off an SOP (for compliance) at a toolbox meeting the audience can vary in terms of great info or thinking about what they will do post 3.30 when they get home, I can see the value in guys having more input as you said above. SOP,s are generally delivered by leading hands or supervisors and it is a rear occasion where I have been asked to update details.

Thanks Mike that all makes sense - we do try and keep them to one page so having a supporting doc could work - who makes the decision on when to use the supporting doc?
