ReEmployAbility annually releases the Program Results of their flagship Transition2Work® program. This summary provides an overview of the program’s impact on the community, performance results, and outcomes of injured workers through the 2023 fiscal year. 

ReEmployAbility’s Transition2Work® program is designed to assist injured employees whose employers cannot accommodate on-site work restrictions. Through this innovative Return-to-Work program, injured workers are placed in nonprofit organizations within their communities, where they can engage in meaningful and productive work. This program helps them to get back to work faster and make a positive impact on their community. Additionally, employers benefit from lower worker’s compensation claim costs. 

This report analyzes the data collected since the program launched in 2007 and evaluates its impact nationwide. It compares the historical data of the program with the most recent fiscal year. Also, 2022 is the first year we have data on the experience of Injured Workers.
