Labor reinstatement of leaders of transportation companies

Abstract

Work reinstatement is the condition in which a worker returns to work after an absence due to a health condition that restricts the full development of work activities. In order to understand the meaning of job reinstatement for leaders and supervisors in a rapid transit bus company in Cali-Colombia, this qualitative research was carried out with a hermeneutical phenomenology approach. There were 8 participants who underwent an in-depth semi-structured interview. As a result, for leaders and supervisors, reinstatement has a mandatory meaning that affects the production system. Dependence, ignorance and a relationship of mistrust towards the worker and the social security system are perceived. Communication in the refund is poor. This research allows us to conclude that leaders and supervisors must create effective links with reintegrated workers and the social security system based on a theoretical model that considers particular needs. Likewise, knowing the structure and meaning of labor reintegration provides foundations to generate integrated systems in companies and public policies that guarantee decent work for every human being, prevention of disability articulated to a productive system.
