We're fighting for the injured workers of Ontario who are not being treated with the dignity and respect they deserve by WSIB case managers. Our goal is to make sure that every injured worker in Ontario is treated fairly and with respect.

Results showed 16 per cent of study participants had met the Kessler criteria for elevated psychological distress at the time of the interview. Of this group, more than half had received a mental health diagnosis from a physician or other professional; 15 per cent were diagnosed pre-injury and 39 per cent were diagnosed post-injury.About 14 per cent of claimants gave their case manager interactions low scores with regard to the quality of information received. In terms of being treated with dignity and respect, nine per cent of claimants had low perceptions of their case managers and 44 per cent had moderate perceptions of their case managers.Source: At Work, Issue 107, Winter 2022: Institute for Work & Health, Toronto
