title: [The reinstatement criteria and follow-up system after returning to work].
abstract: It is possible to think that some consideration must be given to various aspects for those returning to work after having taken temporary leave to receive treatment for stress-related disorders or psychiatric disorders. In this study, the policy aimed at solving the problems was examined by pointing out its strengths and weaknesses of the reinstatement criteria and follow-up system after returning to work at M electrical machinery manufacturing group. For the workers to maintain good social adequacy and tertiary preservation it is necessary for the work place to provide a reinstatement system with an attitude of acceptance. Therefore, it is reconfirmed that the most important thing, as a concrete action, is to give good care after reinstatement. Furthermore, it is essential that efforts be made to remove misconceptions or prejudice in society and among workers by not merely managing the system as a mechanical businesslike procedure, but also enlightening people about the meaning of the system.
