Addressing Key Knowledge Gaps

Gap 1

First, we will develop core indicators for RTW and stay-at-work to enable consistent, cross-sector measurement.

Gap 2

Second, we will design and validate reliable prognostic tools to guide decision-making in clinical and workplace contexts.

Gap 3

Third, we will investigate how employers interpret and fulfill their responsibilities regarding work adaptations, and create recommendations, tools, and training to support them.

Gap 4

Fourth, we will implement and evaluate workplace-based measures that foster sustained work participation together with the occupational health service partners.

Gap 5

We will conduct controlled trials in primary health care to advance equitable access to evidence-based RTW interventions.

Gap 6

To address broader structural issues, we will identify and propose solutions to systemic misalignments between policy, service delivery, and workplace practices.

Gap 7

To translate research into real-world impact, we will promote innovation...

Gap 8

...and develop educational models to bridge knowledge and training gaps among healthcare professionals, employers, and other stakeholders.
