Working Group Return to Work & Partnerships meeting

The Working Group Return to Work & Partnerships meets twice a year to exchange views and insights into barriers, success factors and good practices for return-to-work and employer engagement. This includes disability management and inclusive job design, and other frameworks for advancing the employment of people with disabilities.

For 2024, the working group has identified a variety of priority topics including Digital and Green Transitions, Individual Placement and Support (IPS), Awareness raising with employers, and job retention for persons who attained a disability while being already employed. In addition, the group will follow upcoming EU initiatives linked to the Disability Employment Package to improve labour market outcomes for persons with disabilities.

The first meeting will be held on Wednesday 24 April 2024, 10.00-12.00 CEST online in Teams. Two topics will be addressed in this session: (1) Views and practices on quality jobs in sheltered employment and pathways to the open labour market (2) Alternative employment models for persons with disabilities.

This meeting is for EPR members only.
