Background
■ WSIB implemented its Work Reintegration (WR) Program in 2010
■ Emphasis placed on RTW with the injury employer and practical
retraining programs; included training for RTW with injury employer
■ Two in-house roles to assist workplace parties: RTW Specialist and
(new) Work Transition Specialist
■ New WR Policies outlined services with time and cost limits for
training
■ Services more worker-centric i.e. more input and choice, more
pathways available
■ Improved provider oversight
