Return-to-work
Holistic & Strategic Return-to-Work Solutions
Stalled claims don't resolve themselves.
A claim becomes a stalled claim when the employer won’t accommodate the injured worker’s restrictions, or when the treating physician hasn’t issued a work capacity. In both cases, indemnity keeps running indefinitely.
Stalled claims represent untapped indemnity savings, and JFA is built specifically to pull that lever by helping get workers back to their original employer faster.
85% of any job is still within an injured worker’s ability even with significant injuries. Employers want to get their workers back but dramatically overestimate how much needs to change. JFA shows them the real gap is much smaller than they assumed.
The injured worker and the work environment are a fundamental part of Windham’s return-to-work solutions.

Windham’s Job Fit Accommodation reduces the physical demands in the work environment today, allowing injured workers to recover at work tomorrow.

In conjunction with managing treatment of workplace injuries, our solutions give injured workers the best chance at recovery and translate to major savings for our customers.
Our Process
Outcomes You Can Rely On
The longer injured workers are out of work, the less likely they are to return at all. In a two-year JFA program with a national insurance carrier, Windham Group secured a return-to-work offer letter for an overwhelming majority of workers after a staggering amount of lost time.
