Until recently I hadn't given much thought as to why children go "trick or treating" for Halloween, other than the obvious aim of collecting as much candy as possible. Since information is only a few short clicks away, I did a bit of research.
It turns out it's all about extortion. Give me a treat or I'll play a trick on you. So, here we have homeowners offering up a sweet treat to avoid being punished by a gang of guised kids. Where am I going with this?
RTW, of course.
Employers may be able to ward off negative reactions of injured workers (tricks) by providing their workers with some treats. In this case, prompt reporting of claims, open and frequent communication, and accommodating modified duty restrictions.
Do you fear that an employee may be dressing up like an injured worker? Implement a RTW program to provide them with modified duty work. Let your employees know that you care about their recovery and by using work as therapy, they can recover even faster. There's no trick to that, it's pure logic.
For those of you who celebrate it, have a safe, trick-free, and happy Halloween!
