Sickness absence hurts productivity, efficiency and morale. Early intervention from an occupational health practitioner can reduce average long-term absence by up to 30%, and our reports arrive within 24 hours.

Managing sickness absence for business success

It makes good business sense to actively manage sickness absence, which can hurt the productivity, efficiency and morale of a company and its people. Early intervention from an occupational health practitioner can reduce average long-term absence by 30%.

Specialist expertise, proactively applied

We reduce the disruption and lost productivity that sickness absence causes. Our specially trained practitioners manage the absence process proactively, making a speedy return possible where it might otherwise drag on and add cost.

Expert assessment for a swift return

Our practitioners assess the employee’s fitness for their role and take the time to understand your organisation’s culture. Adjustments that make an early return possible are central to our approach. You’ll get a comprehensive report within 24 hours, setting out the employee’s ability to carry out their contractual duties, or alternative tasks they could do.

How case management works

FAQs

Case management: questions.

What questions can we ask in a referral?

Anything that helps you support the employee and plan: Are they fit for their role? When might they return? What adjustments would help? Is a condition likely to count as a disability under the Equality Act?

Does the employee see the report?

Yes. We follow the consent process, so the employee knows what’s being shared and why.
