Supporting employees with injury, illness, or disability

Workplace Health Services provides services, tools, and advice to people leaders when their team member experiences a disability, illness, or injury.  

Workplace Health Services helps you navigate your role and responsibilities as a manager or people leader when a member of your team discloses a disability or health condition. 

When a team member experiences a disability, illness, or injury, they may find work challenging. They may need support or adjustments to be able to remain in the workplace or they may require time off. Depending on the situation, Workplace Health Services offers programs and resources to help you support your team.  

If you are based in the Okanagan, please visit the Work Reintegration and Accommodation Program (WRAP) on the UBCO HR website.
