Teamwork the focus of new ACC recovery campaign

A healthy, safe, and productive workforce is key to business success. So, when an employee experiences an injury affecting their ability to work it can have a big impact for them, their teammates and staff morale.

For many, work can be a key part of rehabilitation and can mean getting better sooner, compared to staying at home. Staying connected to the workplace can also be beneficial for physical and mental wellbeing.

But recovering at work safely takes a team, involving the injured person, their health professional, employers and ACC. Knowing how to help as a health and safety professional is also key to its success. 

ACC has practical resources, videos and advice on supporting an injured employee and starting a recovery at work plan. Visit the ACC website here.
