Description:
Returning to work after an injury—especially one affecting cognitive function—requires a thoughtful, evidence-based approach. Advances in neuroscience and neurotechnology now provide objective tools to assess cognitive readiness, optimize recovery pathways, and support workplace reintegration. This session explores cutting-edge assessment methods, such as neurophysiological to help leaders make informed decisions about accommodations, modified duties, and performance expectations. Learn how these tools can enhance worker recovery, improve return-to-work outcomes, and create a more supportive, resilient workplace environment. In this webinar, you will learn: How brain assessment technologies can objectively measure cognitive function post-injury. The role of neuroplasticity in recovery and how it informs return-to-work strategies. How to use neurophysiological data to determine appropriate workplace accommodations. Ethical and practical considerations when using cognitive assessment tools.
