A Return-to-Work Evaluation is a medical assessment conducted when an employee is ready to return to work following an injury, illness, or extended medical leave. This evaluation ensures the employee can safely perform their job duties and identifies any necessary work restrictions or accommodations.

The evaluation considers the employee's current health status, the physical demands of their job, and any remaining limitations. The goal is to facilitate a safe return while protecting both the employee and employer.

BlueHive helps employers manage return-to-work evaluations efficiently, ensuring timely assessments that get employees back to productive work safely.
