Revitalizing Work Life: A Triumph Over Depression and Anxiety
Client
Key industry leader in the social services sector
Services Provided
Long-Term Disability Management Services engaged in a comprehensive rehabilitation process, including vocational consultation, deliberations on medical and workplace considerations, and regular planning meetings with Human Resources (HR). Medical requirements for a permanent remote work setup and a fully equipped home workspace were identified.
Executive Summary
This case study focuses on a 50-year-old Full-time Coordinator who, after a prolonged absence due to depression/anxiety, successfully returned to full duties with the support of Long-Term Disability Management Services. The unexpected positive Return-to-Work resolution was achieved through meticulous planning and collaboration.
Challenge
The Employee faced a complex scenario involving depression/anxiety, necessitating an extended absence. Despite initial expectations for a return to work within six weeks, the Employee's condition required a referral to Emergency Mental Health (EMH), leading to a three-year absence and a potential move to Long-Term Disability (LTD).
Solution
Acclaim’s Long-Term Disability Management Services initiated a comprehensive rehabilitation process, assigning a Vocational Rehabilitation Consultant to collaborate with the Employee's team. Medical advice mandated a permanent remote work setup, and a tailored 8-week Return-to-Work plan was implemented, allowing the Employee to transition gradually to full duties.
Results
The collaborative efforts between Acclaim, the Employee, and the Employer resulted in a successful Return-to-Work plan, with the Employee returning to full duties. The unexpected positive resolution led to the closure of the case, earning commendation from the insurer for the thoroughness and commitment of all involved parties.
