What our clients say!
The team at Canadian Injury Management successfully integrated with our organization at all levels. They initiated timely and effective management of all work-related and non-work-related claims resulting in cost savings and offsets. We have benefitted from the consistent management of all employees with injuries and/or illnesses.
Their evidence-based approach was utilized to demonstrate the organization’s injury rates, and progress made in most areas requiring improvement. The revision of our data collection, management and assessment systems allowed us to effectively benchmark with other Hospitals in Ontario and with other industries.
