Occupational Health Assessment
Medical support & guidance for employer and employee when sickness stops someone from doing their job
Description
If a member of your team has an injury or illness which limits their ability to do their job, how will you and your organisation respond?
It might be long-term sickness. It might be a recent injury. Or it might be a health concern that’s starting to get worse. Whatever it is, when ill health limits someone’s ability to work, the harm it causes can ripple out in ways you may or may not expect.
For the employee and their family, it can cause upset and frustration. For the workplace, it can impact morale and other members of the team. And for the organisation, it can have financial and reputational costs.
But timely, expert support from an Occupational Health doctor can reverse a bad situation. Or better still, it can stop any harm from occurring in the first place.
In an Occupational Health Assessment, we will spend time with the employee to properly understand the relationship between their health and their work. We will then write a report with practical steps and recommendations for both parties to improve or resolve the challenge.
WE WILL TELL YOU
✅ Whether the employee is fit to work and (if applicable) suggest a date for their return
✅ Reasonable adjustments an employer should make if the person is considered disabled
✅ How to support the person back to work
✅ Suggested changes to the employee’s work activities
✅ Ways the employee could optimise their health and performance at work
AT A GLANCE
⏰ Duration: A 1-1.5 hour assessment
📍 Location: Online, or an in-person assessment is available in the UK only
👥 Suitable for: any employee struggling with physical or mental injury or illness impacting on their work
💬 We say: “Being in work is better for our health than being out of work. But if not enough care is given to supporting the wellbeing of your team, then the health of staff can suffer. And the overall health of your organisation will suffer as well.”
🤔 Did you know: The longer a person is off sick, the harder it is for them to make a successful return to work. It pays to respond quickly.
