When a co-worker returns to work following a disability leave, employees may feel uncomfortable and havequestions. How should they act? What should they say? How can they help? These questions are often related to their feelings, secret fears, and prejudices about the illness or leave. This seminar will show participants how to safely and smoothly accommodate an employee who is returning to work.
