Cost avoidance on your transitional claims.
The Workfinders USA 98% success rate translates directly into lower claims costs. We quickly get injured workers off the couch and moving until they’re ready to return to pre-injury jobs.
When transitional files aren’t handled promptly, workers’ compensation premiums are more likely to rise. And on transitional cases, when injured workers are needlessly sidelined for extended periods and aren’t placed in modified or light-duty positions with not-for-profits, their cases become more likely to go from transitional to permanently restricted. Workfinders USA enables you to save money and avoid high exposure.
What best practices in customer service on
transitional claims look like.
Let’s get right into best practices in transitional claims. Workfinders USA gives you a single point of contact, to eliminate repetition, frustration, and wasted time. When we receive a referral, we confirm within 2 business hours. And when you send us an email, we follow that same timeframe. We also follow up with not-for-profits same-day as placements and report results back to you immediately.
We stay in touch with the not-for-profit each week, to ensure things are going well. And the Workfinders USA team documents every interaction. Plus, we send time cards and reports to you each week until the placement is complete or terminated. You’re never left wondering what’s going on with your claims.
Another best practice: Aggressive placement sourcing.
At Workfinders USA, we cold-call not-for-profits and speak directly with hiring managers to find available transitional roles, ensure they’re suitable (given your employee’s restrictions), and avoid miscommunication. We never leave key information regarding restrictions and skill sets unaddressed. By taking time to understand your injured employee, Workfinders USA is able to be a strong advocate.
What’s more, instead of relying on the “usual suspect” in a given area for transitional placements, we send your injured workers to a variety of not-for-profits. This means one location never becomes a hub for injured workers.
Best practices in fees for transitional placements.
Workfinders USA charges a simple one-time fee that includes everything (timekeeping, mailing costs – the works). So you know what to expect. We do not double-bill like competitors, and we are less expensive!

Doing right by your injured workers.
Recovery time at home is often essential, but there comes a time to get back to work in a modified or light-duty position before returning to one’s pre-injury position. We take the time to understand each injured worker’s prior position (including skills required), languages spoken, hobbies, and interests.
As a result, workers often tell us how fulfilling they found their volunteer experience. In some cases, it reignites a person’s sense of purpose. Transitional positions with not-for-profits keep injured workers on a daily work schedule – and keep their confidence up. It may accelerate the healing process.
How all this benefits your brand.
Unlike competitors that send injured workers to the same location when they get a transitional file, we spread your employees around your community. Placing injured workers in transitional positions they find fulfilling in a range of worthwhile not-for-profits generates abundant goodwill for your brand. Your employees enjoy working at the not-for-profit and the not-for-profit enjoys having them. People notice the good you’re doing in their community. That makes them more likely to become customers.
