Assessment of Recurrent or Long-term Sickness Absence
Management of employees' attendance at work is one of many responsibilities that an employer has. Occupational Health clinicians have an integral role to play in providing employers with impartial clinical advice to enable employers to discharge that responsibility in a manner that is fair to employees and the organisation. Appropriate management of employees can reduce both absenteeism and presenteeism, thus improving workforce productivity. Our Occupational Health clinician team have a wealth of expertise and experience in meeting your particular requirements.
Our aim is to provide accurate, helpful and timely advice in accordance with current professional guidelines so that employers and employees get the help they need.
Attendance Management Assessments
Attendance management and fitness for work assessments will include history, examination, and screening tests as appropriate, with subsequent provision of a full written report in accordance with regulatory body consent and confidentiality principles. Our Occupational Health specialist will provide you with a range of possible recommendations regarding workplace adjustments where indicated to help facilitate an employee's return to work or to help facilitate their sustained attendance at work. In doing so we will also help ensure that employers comply with relevant disability and health & safety legislation.
