Posted on: February 2nd, 2022 by Ellen MacEachen

Congratulations to lab members Pam Hopwood, Megan Crouch and Ellen MacEachen, for the following article:

Hopwood, P., MacEachen, E., Neiterman, E., Malachowski, C., McKnight, E., Crouch, M., & McDonald, E.. (2022). A Standpoint Approach to Return-to-Work Coordination: Understanding Union Roles. Journal of Occupational Rehabilitation. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10926-022-10025-y

Return-to-work processes can be complex, with different involved actors seeing things in different ways. This paper considers how union representatives impacted return-to-work (RTW) processes, through the views of union representatives and other RTW coordinators. We draw on standpoint approach to explore the different perspectives of union members and other stakeholders involved in the RTW process.
