Return-to-Work and Absence Management

Workplace absence places massive stress on organisations and management and has a huge negative impact on bottom line profits. A proactive health policy can make a significant difference in reducing absence, protecting margins and reducing the pressures on line management.

Overland Health can work with you or your occupational health provider to offer return-to-work programmes that are right for the needs of your business. We offer proactive measures such as worksite assessments and ergonomic assessments that can massively reduce health and safety risks. We can also provide advice on occupational health requirements and provide full or part-time on-site provision.

Early-Intervention Workplace Rehabilitation

Foremost amongst our occupational health products are those that offer a ‘first response’ solution to absence. We have built on the success of our national coverage for musculoskeletal and counselling treatment to create workplace health solutions that offer an immediate healthcare assessment in response to a notification of absence. Where applicable we can offer rapid treatment anywhere in the UK. We can even be the first point of contact for your staff in the event of an absence.

Studies have proven that addressing health issues early vastly increases the chances of a rapid and successful return to the workplace. We can address the major causes of absence quickly and effectively, ensuring that employees are returned to work in good health as swiftly and safely as possible.

Supporting Your Management and Occupational Health Team

Throughout the process we can ensure that line management is kept well advised of progress to enable informed decisions to be made about resourcing and contingency measures. We can also facilitate a return to work and help you manage employees through the rehabilitation process by giving clear indications of capabilities, any workplace adjustments or functional aids required, and offering the necessary on-going support to both employees and managers.
