Canadian Pacific (CP) is committed to supporting employees with on-duty and off-duty injury or illness by facilitating the employment of such persons, whenever reasonable and appropriate, through a coordinated effort. The Disability Management Program supports employee health and well-being by promoting early intervention to employees who become ill or injured and facilitating timely and safe return to work. The Disability Management Program provides a consistent process through which CP supports employees with timely reintegration to regular or modified/alternate work duties, as appropriate, in conjunction with their recovery.
Managers/Supervisors, Employees, Unions, Human Resources, Health Services and the Disability Management team are all responsible for engaging in the interactive process. Following the Disability Management Procedure ensures a consistent delivery of the Disability Management Program, as well as adherence to Federal and Provincial laws related to the accommodation of employees, by promoting timely reintegration to regular, modified or alternate work duties (when feasible) in conjunction with their recovery.
