työtoimintasuunnitelma

A työtoimintasuunnitelma, often translated as a work activity plan or work rehabilitation plan, is a document used in Finland and other similar contexts. It outlines a structured approach to supporting an individual in returning to or maintaining work, often in cases of illness, injury, or other health-related challenges. The primary goal of a työtoimintasuunnitelma is to facilitate a gradual and supported reintegration into the working life, considering the individual's health status and capabilities.

This plan is typically developed collaboratively between the individual, their employer (if applicable), healthcare professionals, and sometimes social services or rehabilitation providers. It details specific tasks, adjustments, and support mechanisms that will be implemented. These might include modified working hours, changes to work tasks, provision of assistive devices, or specific therapeutic interventions. The plan also sets out a timeline for these measures and defines responsibilities for each party involved.

A key aspect of a työtoimintasuunnitelma is its focus on an incremental return to work. Rather than an abrupt transition back to full duties, the plan often involves a phased approach, gradually increasing work intensity or hours as the individual's health improves. Regular follow-ups and assessments are integral to the process, allowing for adjustments to the plan as needed. The ultimate aim is to ensure a sustainable return to work that promotes the individual's well-being and occupational functioning.
