Managing Employee Health Issues
Engaging the services of an Occupational Health specialist will ensure that you have the necessary assistance and support to help you effectively manage employee health issues and sickness absence. A referral may be indicated in the following circumstances:-

Our occupational health advisers and physicians can provide an independent opinion and advice on any long-term or short-term intermittent health problems and assist your managers by:-
- Assessing a person’s fitness to work
- Advising on suitable rehabilitation programmes
- Giving advice relating to Disability Legislation where appropriate
- Assessing employees for possible ill-health retirement, if appropriate
