A work hardening program such as the one Mary experienced is designed to assist with case resolution and maximum rehabilitation as expediently and cost effectively as possible. For the worker who cannot successfully return to work due to injury or illness, work hardening is a means of determining what the barriers are to returning to work. As case history showed these barriers often are much more than physical. However, this does not mean that the worker has deep rooted psychological problems. Most of the time, the worker is demonstrating a normal situational reaction to the injury, and once identified, the issues can be resolved expediently.
像玛丽所经历的那种工作强化计划，旨在尽可能迅速且经济高效地协助解决案例并实现最大程度的康复。对于因伤病而无法成功重返工作岗位的员工而言，工作强化是一种确定重返工作岗位存在哪些障碍的手段。正如案例历史所显示的，这些障碍往往远不止是身体方面的。然而，这并不意味着该员工存在根深蒂固的心理问题。大多数时候，员工只是对伤病表现出正常的情境反应，一旦问题被识别出来，就可以迅速得到解决。
