WCB Alberta

““All of this is so overwhelming. Mani is my cheerleader and at times had to be a tough coach. He guided me through this very difficult journey with kindness, honesty and professionalism,””

“When I went to WCB, I was all-in. I was still experiencing suicidal ideation, and I felt this was my last chance to fix things. Thankfully, the psychologists, physical and occupational therapists, and Millard team were awesome. There’s no way I could have been successful without them.”

““The TOJ program has certainly been positive for us,” she adds. “I knew all along that I always had WCB’s support if I had questions.””

““I appreciate what everybody has done for me, from my case manager and everyone at Millard Health treatment centre. Thank you.””

““I like tinkering. This is perfect for me. I’m happy. I couldn’t have done this without WCB.””

““The training-on-the-job program allowed me to spend all the time needed to train Nigel properly, and I can see him being an employee for Crystal Glass for a very long time,” says Ryan. “It’s been a very helpful resource and a huge success for us. It’s something I highly recommend to all employers.””

““Now I’m able to go back to my job and continue as best I can in this new role. But I’m a little stubborn. I’d eventually like to be back on the tools full time.””

““It’s meant a lot to know Terry and Linda were looking out for me and were eager to keep me on board,” says Mike.”

““At the end of the day, it’s our responsibility as business owners to support our employees and do what we can for them and their families in the event of an accident. It was never a question of if Mike was coming back, it was only a matter of when.””

““We’re a relatively small company, and it feels like family,” says Linda.”

““Now, whatever anyone needs at the company, I’m able to do it for them.””

““Being in the office has been an adjustment for me after being on the tools for 20 years. I’m glad I’m able to get out on site and stay connected to my original role as an installer,” says Mike.”

““I’m a very routine-oriented person, so coming back to work gave me that routine again,” says Mike.”

““We knew we wanted Mike to come back and be with us for the long term, so we had to find new ways to harness his knowledge, skills and experience.””

““Once we found out that this was a life-changing injury for Mike, we felt we needed to do everything we could to make his recovery the best it could possibly be,” recalls Terry.”

““Co-op Cannabis has been nothing but supportive of me in returning to work,” says Mark. “They understand my injury and my limitations. They’ve set up everything I’ve needed to be successful. It’s been a great place to work, and training on the job definitely got me to where I am now—there’s no two ways about it.””
