One of the functions of occupational health is to assist managers in devising effective return to work plans that help your colleague resume productive employment in a timely way. Another function is to smooth the process to help managers monitor sickness absence.

Our company has a proven track record in helping organisations understand the reasons why workers have to take time off work to recuperate from injury or illness. We use the biopsychosocial model of health to assess the reasons for prolonged sickness absence and barriers to returning to work. We know from experience that not all absence is attributed to sickness and we can identify what other issues can influence short-term sickness absence behaviour. At the heart of our work is promoting work being good for health and rehabilitation.
