The Job Retention and Rehabilitation Pilot (JRRP) was undertaken to test out boosting the usual help for those off work due to sickness and ill health, to return to and retain their job. The report presents information about the experience of participating in the trial, and the second report provides a quantitative assessment of the impacts of the trial on return-to-work rates, health, and other measures. Key findings of the impact assessment were that this particular method of recruiting and assisting people to retain employment was not effective, the interventions had no significant impact on the group of people recruited into the trial across key return-to-work measures. Similar rates of return to work were observed in the intervention groups as in the control group. There were however some minor impacts, both positive and negative, on certain subgroups: specifically, improved return-to-work rates for those off work because of an injury; and lower return-to-work rates for those with mental health issues.
