Governor Snyder says we have his attention!
Workability In Michigan is an organization of volunteers from a variety of professions who share the common goal of preventing needless work disability and helping people stay employed.
Recently, a team of volunteers with Workability in Michigan (WIM) sent a letter to Governor Snyder. The intent was to draw his attention to the mission and resources available through WIM, and push for action to bring a heightened awareness of Return to Work / Stay at Work initiatives that will save Michigan and Michigan businesses hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Governor responded, and at light speed. The WIM volunteer team was told “you have the Governor’s attention” within hours of submitting the letter.
The next step for WIM is to coordinate with the State of Michigan to become a good example of how to manage disability better with state employees. Once that process is under way, WIM will work with the state to promote best practices in managing disability to businesses within the state. The intended result is the State, as one of the largest employer in Michigan, takes the lead in cutting enormous costs and brings significant credibility in championing the initiatives.
