Management Referrals

Sickness absence case management helps to improve outcomes in sickness absence, rehabilitation, work related illness and injury in the workplace. The primary goal of occupational health case management is to assist with the return of the individual to maximal functioning capacity and maximal medical recovery – thus allowing a rapid and safe return to work if possible. Occupational health provides independent advice to managers and employees on: the health of people at work, fitness for work, health risks of the workplace, the occupational implications of risks to health that can occur at work and the ability of employees, through reasons of their health, to undertake the work.

 Helping you with the management of absenteeism in the workplace and in doing so, reducing your costs, increasing employee productivity and decreasing the negative affects absenteeism can have on the rest of your workforce.

Management referrals can be delivered remotely by telephone assessments or face to face assessments. With escalation to an OHP if required.
