The Framework partnership program is a culmination of many years of learning in workplace injury rehabilitation. We have come to understand that the existing system creates secondary disability and undermines relationships within workplaces. We have developed an alternative that is anchored to organisational learning.
The partnership program addresses the key principles of injury management: early intervention and respectful relationships between workers, employer and insurer. Framework group balance the complexities of facilitating these relationships and ensuring that everyone works well together in a streamlined, proactive approach that supports organizational learning. The partnership in learning approach provides a portal through which an organization can enhance their organizational culture. We can’t promise an overnight transition but rather, an iterative approach that develops, enhances and maintains effective working relationships over the medium to longer term.
Fortunately, good outcomes for injured workers can coincide with significantly reduced costs to the employer and insurer.
Framework group provides support directly to injured workers and their supervisors who are empowered to better understand and manage injuries.
Supervisors often feel uncomfortable managing injured staff so Framework group embraces a supporting role. We also support the management team by providing claims management advice at policy level and on a claim by claim basis. This support extends to establishing and maintaining a respectful working relationship with the workers compensation agent/insurer and with key service providers.
The Framework partnership program assumes that an energetic, well-informed and respectful approach to injury management improves organisational culture and helps employees and supervisors reclaim some control, and also saves a lot of time and a lot of money.
To be honest however, the transition isn’t always easy and doesn’t occur overnight. It involves commitment from your management team, relationship building with your insurer, education and support of your supervisors and team leaders and ongoing conversations throughout your organisation.
It isn’t easy but it is worthwhile and rewarding.
