(Canada) Inc. today announces the
integration of Crawford EmployerWORKS™ software with its human risk
service line. Crawford EmployerWORKS is an innovative software
platform powered by MyAbilities™. It was designed to streamline and
standardizes the collection, communication and analysis of
physical, cognitive and psychosocial demands tied to risk
assessment and return to work efforts. As a tool for the

Crawford EmployerWORKS further empowers our professionals to
effectively and efficiently handle disability claims by ensuring a
prompt and successful return to work and implementing proper
measures to prevent workplace injuries.
"Specializing in occupational (workers' compensation) and
non-occupational (leave and disability) claims from a claim and
case management perspective, our human risk division strives to
identify and implement new, effective methods to manage such claims
ensuring a safe, timely and sustainable return to work," said
Heather Matthews, senior vice
president, Crawford Human Risk. "Crawford EmployerWORKS serves to
simplify and enhance our communication capabilities with clients,

This analytical system leverages the vast Crawford EmployerWORKS
database to identify typical job demands linked to specific job
profiles while incorporating risk factors to assist in mapping out
a sustainable return to work solution. Crawford EmployerWORKS also
includes tools to identify barriers for return to work in the form
of physician causation analysis and psychosocial factors.
"We believe that everyone – employees, employers, health
practitioners and insurance companies – will benefit from better
prevention, injury management and return to work solutions through
advanced ergonomics, artificial intelligence and digital risk
assessment technology," said Reed
Hanoun, CEO of MyAbilities. "The EmployerWORKS suite is a
whole new take on human asset management. We truly believe that we
will revolutionize the way industries manage their ergonomics and
safety strategies and that they will never look back!"
Through the use of innovative technology, Crawford continues to adhere to its mission to
restore and enhance lives, business and communities by leveraging
the appropriate expertise and analytical tools to identify and
remove barriers hindering injured parties from obtaining gainful
and meaningful employment following an accident, injury or
