If we miss the window, we lose the worker. If support comes too late, workers risk drifting into long-term absence from the workforce,&#8221; said Mr Yong.<\/p>\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-81d276b elementor-widget elementor-widget-pxl_heading\" data-id=\"81d276b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"pxl_heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"pxl-pxl_heading-81d276b-4692\" class=\"pxl-heading px-sub-title-default-style \">\n\t<div class=\"pxl-heading--inner\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<h3 class=\"pxl-item--title style-default  highlight-default \" data-wow-delay=\"ms\">\n\t\t\t\t\tSuggestions from labour movement\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc29b32 elementor-widget elementor-widget-pxl_text_editor\" data-id=\"bc29b32\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"pxl_text_editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pxl-text-editor default\">\n\t<div class=\"pxl-item--inner  \" data-wow-delay=\"ms\">\n\t\t<p>&#8220;Return-to-work&#8221; services require vocational rehabilitation and coordination across healthcare providers, employers and workers. They also involve personalised plans based on functional ability and job requirements, said Mr Dinesh.<\/p><p>In Mr Yong&#8217;s speech, he said the most effective &#8220;return-to-work&#8221; systems do not wait for workers to fully recover, but support recovery through work.<\/p><p data-once=\"outstream2\">He urged for earlier and more structured interventions, pointing to international evidence that shows the first few weeks after injury or illness are critical.<\/p><p>He called for earlier referral of workers to support returning to work, establishing clearer expectations of employers, and promoting early coordination among employers, workers, insurers and healthcare providers.<\/p><p>To strengthen employer capability, Mr Yong asked MOM to consider expanding a tripartite advisory on reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities &#8211; which is in development &#8211; to explicitly cover workers recovering from injuries and serious health conditions.<\/p><p>He said this should include guidance on job redesign and phased return, workplace adjustments and assistive solutions, and managing productivity during recovery.<\/p><p>For workers who are unable to return to the same job after injury or illness, Mr Yong proposed developing a dedicated pathway back to work for them.<\/p><p data-once=\"sub2\">He called for targeted skills training aligned with medical capacity, career coaching and confidence rebuilding, job matching with supportive employers and transitional employment opportunities to be part of this pathway.<\/p><p>Mr Yong also called for support to be broadened beyond workplace injuries to cover serious non-work-related conditions as well.<\/p><p>&#8220;From the worker&#8217;s perspective, there is no difference between a workplace injury and a serious illness \u2013 only the question of whether they can return to work,&#8221; he said.<\/p><p>He suggested a &#8220;time-bound wage support scheme&#8221; to incentivise employers to reintegrate workers recovering from serious health conditions.<\/p><p>The government could also reduce financial barriers by allowing workers to use Medisave to pay for assessments of their condition and fitness to return to work, he said.<\/p>\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8216923 elementor-widget elementor-widget-pxl_heading\" data-id=\"8216923\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"pxl_heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div id=\"pxl-pxl_heading-8216923-3098\" class=\"pxl-heading px-sub-title-default-style \">\n\t<div class=\"pxl-heading--inner\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<h3 class=\"pxl-item--title style-default  highlight-default \" data-wow-delay=\"ms\">\n\t\t\t\t\t&#8220;Return-to-work&#8221;

efforts including a pilot programme by Workforce Singapore and public health institutions from 2023 to 2025, called Bounce Back Lab.<\/p><p>The pilot was for workers who were recovering from a recent health setback who had been assessed as fit to reenter the workforce, including those facing non-work-related conditions.<\/p><p>They received personalised career coaching services, targeted health advisory and emotional support from medical and community social workers.<\/p><p>After this pilot, healthcare clusters implemented processes to strengthen integrated healthcare and employment support, said Mr Dinesh.<\/p><p>From 2017 to 2021, 3,700 workers were enrolled on another pilot by the Workplace Safety and Health Council to establish &#8220;return-to-work&#8221; capabilities at seven public hospitals.<\/p><p>Besides occupational therapy and rehabilitation for these workers with work injuries, their employers were also engaged to implement a customised return-to-work plan.<\/p><p>These efforts enabled 95 per cent of the workers to successfully return to work, said Mr Dinesh.<\/p><p>He said MOM recognises that more can be done for recovering workers, and would consider Mr Yong&#8217;s suggestions carefully.<\/p>\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3824dbd elementor-widget elementor-widget-pxl_text_editor\" data-id=\"3824dbd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"pxl_text_editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pxl-text-editor default\">\n\t<div class=\"pxl-item--inner  \" data-wow-delay=\"ms\">\n\t\t<div class=\"layout__region layout__region--first\"><section class=\"block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodearticlefield-source clearfix\" data-title=\"Source\"><div class=\"source__block\"><div class=\"source source--with-label\"><div class=\"layout__region layout__region--first\"><section class=\"block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodearticlefield-source clearfix\" data-title=\"Source\"><div class=\"source__block\"><div class=\"source source--with-label\"><em>Source: CNA\/dv<\/em><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div>\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Return-to-work&#8221;
