Workers compensation consultant, writer and trainer Margaret Spence of Douglas Claims and Risk Consultants has founded National Return to Work Week and is observing it now (May 11-15, 2009) for the first time with a free virtual conference. Here are a few of the seminar topics coming up in the remainder of the week:
- Physician Where Art Thou – Medical Management
- Best Practices – Workers Compensation and Beyond – From a Defense Attorney’s Point of View
- I’m Injured and I Can’t Come Back to Work
- Engaging Employees With Disabilities – Getting Them Back to Work
No packing needed – attend the inaugural conference for “National Return to Work Week” virtually. And free! And even after it’s over!
“Kory,” you might say, “it’s a whole week of free events. And this is Wednesday afternoon. Why didn’t you tell me about this sooner?”
“Well,” I would say sheepishly, “that might have something to do with me not opening every email I receive in the most timely manner. Not yours, of course.”
But all is not lost! The seminars we’ve missed are recorded and also available. These include:
- Disability is a Daunting Task – Right?
- The Flip Side: Attorneys and Return to Work
- Vocational Retraining: a Viable Return to Work Option
and many more. Speakers include attorneys, an ergonomics specialist, a medical doctor, human resource professionals, Ms. Spence, WorkCompEdge contributor Frank Pennachio, and others.

This initiative mirrors many of the principles we advocate in WorkCompEdge, and we congratulate Ms. Spence on her leadership and vision.
