What is the potential consequence of lacking effective follow-up services in vocational rehabilitation?

Lacking effective follow-up services in vocational rehabilitation can lead to decreased support for work-related issues. Follow-up services are critical as they help individuals adapt to their new work environments, address any challenges they encounter on the job, and ensure that they maintain the skills necessary for job performance. Without these services, individuals may struggle to navigate workplace dynamics, address potential conflicts, or find solutions to performance-related obstacles. This lack of ongoing support can significantly hinder their ability to succeed and maintain employment, ultimately impacting their job satisfaction and career progression.

On the other hand, effective follow-up services would ideally help improve job success rates, support better workplace integration, and enhance access to training and resources, which are not achievable without consistent and reliable support.
