Thank you for choosing to take Course 3 in the Inclusion Works: Transformative Recruitment Practices certificate. These courses are for professionals looking to enhance workplace inclusivity and productivity through their recruitment practices.

Additionally, hiring people with disabilities fosters a more inclusive workplace culture and brings unique perspectives and talents, enriching teams and driving innovation and success.

This presentation focuses on:

Occupational injuries are common for police service members. The physical demands of police work along with operational stress, make return to work (RTW) for police service members challenging.

We conducted in-depth interviews with members of Ontario police services (sworn and civilian) who have experience with work absence and RTW. A thematic analysis was used for the qualitative interview data. Five themes emerged describing key aspects of the RTW process: Accommodation, Communication, Trust-building, as well as Context and Culture. Details and illustrative quotes provide practical information about how to improve the RTW process in policing.

Learning Outcomes

• Barriers to RTW in policing
• Practical recommendations for overcoming barriers
