Work Disability Prevention and Vocational Recovery Training at your finger tips
Welcome to Centricity Academy
The original worker-centric training for Workers’ Compensation, Disability Insurance, and Employers.
The only person who can determine whether there will be a return to work is the injured worker!
Getting back to work is the only good proof of successful recovery and of a successful [compensation] system
The human, social, and economic harm being out of work unnecessarily is real and significant. To put it simply, chronic work disability is harmful. Without a successful RTW outcome, workers are at 2-3x the risk of developing co-morbid conditions, 2-3x the risk of developing mental health problems, and 20% increase in mortality.
Welcome to Centricity Academy
Chronic unnecessary work disability is not the result of a lack of available information or research to successfully address the matter; to argue otherwise is counterproductive to making meaningful change in the outcomes for injured and/or ill workers. Instead, the problem arises from the lack of a cohesive, evidence-based, and unifying approach that is sufficient to address the modifiable determinants that impact on worker Vocational Recovery and RTW outcomes.
At Centricity Academy we aim to provide you with the most current and evidence-based curriculum of content to solve the work disability problem, improve the vocational recovery experience, and create substantial and sustainable RTW outcomes.
There is mounting evidence that health outcomes and RTW outcomes do not track well together. Evidence is gathering that simply focusing on recovery is not sufficient to move the needle on duration and RTW outcomes. In fact, this focus can put your organization at risk of increasing duration for the most vulnerable group of workers who are experiencing work disability.
There is mounting evidence that providing “good” customer service and duration do not track well together. There is growing evidence that providing these “service” elements do not impact on RTW outcomes. Customer service is NOT a proxy for engagement and activation.
At Centricity Academy we focus on the proven modifiable determinants for better RTW outcomes. When a worker returns to work successfully, everyone wins. what you will find here, you won’t find anywhere else. We have a proven framework used in multiple jurisdictions, in multiple countries.
We will show you the WHY, the HOW, and the WHAT of Work Disability Prevention and Vocational Recovery.
