Psychosocial behaviors have a significant impact on the management of the injured worker. Clinical research has addressed much of the role of psychosocial factors in recovery and rehabilitation outcomes. However, it is essential to identify and classify the behaviors to better understand how to respond to them.
If one of your employees is injured, what do you as an employer do? Has your human resources department written protocols, so your employees know exactly what to do? Communicating the proper information and process is important so that the injured employee receives the most immediate and appropriate care.
