We understand that when one of your team is coping with a long-term condition, has a physical illness or injury or has mental health problems, it not only affects the employee but also the team and the organisation. Our proactive approach to absence management helps employees who are struggling at work with a health condition, supporting them to remain in, or return to, work as quickly as possible and thrive at work. Line managers are also key to this process and our line manager assistance programme is designed to help.

How do we help:

With our experienced in-house HCPC registered health care professionals, we have early doors conversations with either the employee or the line manager, or both, about providing support to enable someone preferably to remain at work or to improve their health to re-enter the workplace. Early intervention is key.

Every employee has their own health care professional delivering vocational rehabilitation support and we can also provide pathways to get additional support to speed recovery back to work, if needed, or utilise the existing support you have.

Support service details

We can agree a level of service with you which can range from a “concierge service”, to support on a per referral basis.

We work with what services you already have in place. We encourage early intervention which helps prevent someone from either being absent or can reduce the amount of time they are absent and away from the workplace. We know that the longer someone is off work, the harder it can be to return and can have a negative impact on their health. All cases are managed by dedicated HCPC registered clinicians who provide vocational rehabilitation and support your employee in self-managing their symptoms, help them back to work or to remain at work and also work with your line managers to equip them in supporting employees back to work. We offer an individualised support to each employee aiming at preventing lengthy absences.

We provide useful MI data to your account manager and use a ISO27001 patient management system which provides high level of confidentiality for the individual.
