Employers are making many positive movements forward in ergonomics, hiring practices, education, fitness, reduction in lost days, and minimization of disability. The missing link in this work lifespan continuum is often the exact knowledge of the physical demands of the work, its link with work injury, and the objective means to reduce both lost and restricted days for workers.

Because the work demands must be a fit for the worker, DSI Work Solutions is able to develop and integrate effective components to the employer’s already excellent processes. By analyzing employer’s and physician concerns, Dennis and Susan created an innovative program that links worker capacity with job demands both in functional capacity evaluation, early intervention, and work rehabilitation. The Job Function Matching process is highly effective in hiring, injury prevention, early return to work, and reduction in days away. With an acknowledged disconnect between medical and employer language and goals, the DSI programs and process can bridge that gap with methods designed to facilitate both groups’ work.

Dennis, Susan and DSI consultants are dedicated to the safety of the worker; early, fair and effective return to full duty; improved productivity for the employer; and a system that works collaboratively with medical professionals. DSI clients include small, middle and large employers as well as Fortune 1000 with multiple North American sites.
