By implementing a plan to help an employee transition back into the working world after a stroke, Chicago White Metal has earned the 2007 Corporate Award from the prestigious Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, which is dedicated to helping people with physical disabilities live a fulfilling life.
“CWM needed to work closely with the employee’s rehabilitation caseworker to review, organize and monitor his work schedules, workload and overall physical condition,” according to Anne Andrews, newly appointed CWM Human Resources Manager. “We did this with the guidance of his direct supervisor and the managers of several CWM departments to determine what the optimum permanent fit would be for him at Chicago White Metal Casting.”
