For details about Phase 1 visit Assessment & Recommendation

2  DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT PHASE

Step 10

The steps in the Design & Development Phase involve developing all materials (templates, forms, sample letters, etc.) that will be used through the life of the program.

3  TRAINING & IMPLEMENTATION PHASE

Steps 11 through 13

The steps in the Training & Implementation Phase involve a training program for all employees from top management to individual workers who are involved in the workers' compensation/injury management process.

  • Employees will be up-to-date and comfortable with any new forms, policies, and procedures
  • Following training will be the actual implementation (going-live,) the point at which all new changes are officially adopted

4  MONITORING & MANAGEMENT PHASE

Step 14

The final, ongoing step in the Monitoring & Management Phase involves posting implementation support and monitoring of processes, injury claims, and lost time data.
