Which program would likely provide support to injured workers returning to a preferred job?

The Preferred Worker Program is designed specifically to support injured workers who are returning to employment, especially in positions that they are familiar with or prefer. This program aims to facilitate and incentivize the hiring of these workers by providing necessary resources and support to both the employer and the worker. The essence of this program is to assist workers in transitioning back into the workforce in a role that aligns with their skills and preferences, enhancing their chances of long-term employment success while also benefiting the employer through reduced training and accommodation costs.

This program is particularly significant for individuals who have sustained injuries but are still able to work in a modified capacity or within their previous job roles. The support can include adjustments in hours or duties, ensuring that the worker can perform their job safely and effectively. This focus on maintaining a connection to preferred employment not only aids in the recovery process but also promotes job satisfaction and retention.

The other options, while related to worker compensation and return-to-work initiatives, serve different purposes and do not specifically target the aspect of support for returning to a preferred job.
