Työpaikkakuntoutus

Työpaikkakuntoutus, or workplace rehabilitation, is a process aimed at helping an individual return to or maintain their working capacity when it is compromised due to health issues. This can involve physical, mental, or social challenges. The primary goal is to support the employee in continuing their work or returning to their previous job after an absence.

The process often involves collaboration between the employee, employer, and rehabilitation professionals, such as occupational health services, physiotherapists, or psychologists. It is tailored to the individual's specific needs and the demands of their job. Interventions can include adjustments to the work environment, modifications to work tasks, provision of assistive devices, or changes in working hours and routines.

Työpaikkakuntoutus can also involve training or retraining to equip the employee with new skills or to adapt to different roles within the organization. The focus is on finding sustainable solutions that benefit both the employee's well-being and their continued employment. It is a proactive approach to preventing long-term absence from work and promoting employee health and productivity.
