Return to work with vocational rehabilitation
If your health and work ability deteriorate so that continuing in your previous work is no longer possible, Elo’s vocational rehabilitation can help.
Elo’s vocational rehabilitation
Elo’s vocational rehabilitation can support you if, due to illness or injury, you are unable to manage your work tasks and are at risk of disability, or if you are returning to work from a fixed-term disability pension (rehabilitation allowance). The available means of rehabilitation include workplace rehabilitation (work trial and work coaching), support for entrepreneurship, and education. If needed, a work coach can help you choose and plan the most suitable option for you.
Who is eligible for rehabilitation?
The right to vocational rehabilitation can be granted to an employee or entrepreneur under retirement age who can no longer manage their work due to illness or injury.
