Abstract
In the second of a two-part article, Kim Burton and Serena Bartys are joined by Abasiama Etuknwa to explain how to build and implement a ‘smart’ return- to-work plan.
We now largely accept that good work is good for health. So, it seems intuitive that a return to work (RTW) should also be ‘good’ to facilitate the best possible outcomes for all involved.

In this article, we offer guidance from our latest research for building and implementing these plans.
