How does treating recovery at work as a business priority – rather than compliance – change outcomes for people and performance?
Last year, ACC partnered with more than 140 businesses across New Zealand to test whether structured workplace interventions, tools and support could improve recovery outcomes for injured employees — and the results are now in.
In this lunchtime panel session, we will be joined by ACC and three business leaders that participated in the Recovery at Work trial to share their experiences and what worked in real workplaces.
From senior leadership buy‑in and manager influence, to practical changes such as identifying meaningful suitable duties and building internal capability, the panelists will speak openly about what worked, what surprised them, and where thinking shifted.
ACC will share key trial learnings and what’s next for Recovery at Work, equipping attendees with practical insights to drive better recovery outcomes for their people and business.
There will be an opportunity for you to ask the panel questions at the end of the session.
