The Workplace Possibilities Program, offered through The Standard Insurance Company, helps employees who are having difficulty performing their job due to a medical condition. The program provides professional consultation to identify and remove barriers that may prevent an employee from working safely and productively. Services may include ergonomic assessments, workplace accommodations, or other solutions tailored to the employee’s needs.

This program can serve as an alternative to an employee filing a long-term disability claim. By addressing medical limitations early and making appropriate adjustments, employers have the opportunity to help valued employees remain productive members of the team rather than losing them to disability leave.

If an employee may benefit from assistance, the employer should complete and submit the Workplace Possibilities Stay-at-Work Referral form to The Standard. Supporting medical documentation may be requested as part of the process.
