The sitch: car wash attendant slips on the wet floor
Picture this: it was a busy Saturday morning at the car wash and the attendants were working hard to get through the busy line of cars coming through. As a worker moved along to the next car he slipped on the wet floor and landed on his arm, fracturing it. This was a serious injury, and the attendant was sent to hospital.
Tribe swoops in
Here’s how Tribe swooped in to save the day:
Showing up when it matters: Because Tribe was notified right away, Tribe met the employee at the hospital and kept the client in the loop.
Return to work team: Tribe’s recover at work team checked in with the injured attendant and assisted in getting relevant documents together while liaising with work cover.
Getting the employee back to work: Tribe communicated regularly with the injured employee, client and treatment providers to ensure he was taken care of and on track with recovery to make sure he was in tip top shape before returning to work.
