Following an absence from work due to illness, injury or medical condition(or for any other reason), it is also good practice to hold a "return-to-work" meeting with the employee. This can be informal if the absence was only a few days. In cases of a long absence, several meetings to plan the return to work are advised. 2, record 1, English, - return%2Dto%2Dwork%20meeting

Après une absence du travail pour raison de maladie, de blessure ou de problème de santé (ou pour toute autre raison), il est également de bonne pratique de tenir une «réunion de retour au travail» avec l'employé.
