The BC Government announced a Workforce Development Grant to the National Institute of Disability Management and Research (NIDMAR) which provides BC residents and workplaces across all public and private sectors with a range of supports designed to improve Return to Work and Disability Management knowledge, programs and practices. It is within this context that the BC Nurses Union (BCNU) and NIDMAR have entered into a unique cost-shared secondment agreement designed to allow Lani deHek, the BCNU Manager for Occupational Health & Safety and Disability Management, to support this unique initiative on a full-time basis, working with NIDMAR.
