• Before leaving the workplace

Your EA Professional can help you navigate the various areas on campus that will help facilitate your leave, such as: Health Benefits, Employee Relations and/or Accessibility Resources.

• Before returning to the workplace

Your EA Professional can help with your transition back into the workplace by coordinating a “Return to Work” meeting on your behalf. “Return to Work” meetings provide a safe, confidential and comfortable environment for you and others to talk about your return to the workplace.

Participants in the “Return to Work” meeting are chosen by you and may include your supervisor, HR Benefits, Employee Relations, Accessibility Resources, your treatment provider (if applicable) and the EA Professional. This meeting gives everyone the opportunity to discuss any circumstances that need to be addressed to ensure a smooth transition back into the workplace, such as job expectations, agreements about any necessary accommodations and ways to continue positive communication among all involved.
