Watch our webinar, Managing Ill and Injured Workers.

When an employee is injured, employers are rarely dealing with a single issue. Medical evidence, operational demands, legal obligations and broader people considerations often sit in tension, requiring careful and balanced judgement at every stage. The decisions made in these moments can have lasting consequences.

Drawing on real scenarios and current workplace challenges, our presenters cover:

  • Managing situations where medical evidence does not align with operational needs
  • When and how medical certificates can be appropriately tested or challenged without creating risk
  • Responding to prolonged or uncertain capacity without creating legal exposure
  • Navigating the interaction between return-to-work obligations and discrimination risk
  • Approaching the difficult question of whether continued employment remains viable
  • What a structured, defensible decision-making process looks like in practice


Designed for HR leaders, People and Culture teams, CEOs, COOs, and operational leaders responsible for workforce risk.
