Our Director, Robert Migliore was interviewed by Asia-Pacific Banking & Finance (AB+F) magazine this March on this thought-provoking subject.

Robert highlights the important issues plaguing our insurers as they focus on assessing the veracity of claims with respect to causation, medical intervention and pathology. Insurers are better placed to adopt a model that will address and identify a worker’s perception of health, injury causation and recovery time.

Robert says, “There needs to be an understanding that injury management is as much to do with the medical and physical aspects of injury as it is to do with the personality and emotional factors governing one’s health perceptions”.

Given what we know already about the impact of personality on injury recovery, Actevate have acted by developing unique initial screening of our clients, under the Pathways Model, to identify early-on the barriers that are likely to impact on our interventions. By doing this upfront, we separate out the personality factors versus the medical and injury-recovery factors. We put in action plans to address the whole picture – getting employers results and having healthy productive workers.

The Pathways Model has been designed to enhance the social, emotional, financial and workplace outcomes of injured or ill employees. This model is supported by a unique coaching program called The MindBody Project – a multidisciplinary program that incorporates physical coaching with resilience coaching to enable individuals to take ownership of their own health.
