EML’s Rachael Gordon and Robyn Shepard have been recognised in the Personal Injury Education Foundation (PIEF) Awards for Excellence in Personal Injury and Disability Management.
Don Ferguson, CEO EML Management said, “It is fantastic to get this public recognition which acknowledges their exceptional work as case managers in helping people get their lives back after workplace illness or injury. A key theme that came through in both of their nominations was the empathetic approach they take to their work every day – considering how the injury has affected the person’s whole life and building trust so they can work with the person to help them recover and ultimately return to work.”
