Job Fit Analysis (JFA)
Send Windham Group your soft tissue/repetitive motion claims and we'll keep the employee working at their regular job or obtain a work release from their treating physician to return to their regular job. Our success is based on our ability to identify and eliminate the true risk factors present at the work-site. In doing so we are able to facilitate a safe and productive work environment and return to work. By fixing the work-site we eliminate the need for alternative duty jobs and reduce the possibility of exacerbation or re-injury.

- RTW coordination and collaboration with case managers, medical providers and the employer;
- Work-site assessment to identify true ergonomic risk factors;
- Job Modification at the work-site to ensure employees return to work;
- Alternative and transitional duty preparation with the focus on the employee's original occupation;
- Training and injury prevention for employees, supervisors and management;
- Teaching injured employees new techniques and behaviors to perform their job tasks;
- Eliminating the true risk factors causing the injury and symptoms at the work-site.
