At OHWorks, we believe early intervention is the key to absence management.

This is particularly apparent in musculoskeletal and mental health conditions. Employees must be given access to treatment as soon as possible.  

 

Once referred to Occupational Health, OHW provides management with a comprehensive report within 48 hours, often on the same day as the appointment. 

​

We stay in direct contact with managers and HR and can arrange case conferences for complex and sensitive cases. We continue to provide advice until cases are resolved, giving managers the specific information they need to manage absence and performance.  

​

Our clinical team of specialists can offer a range of recommendations across many conditions or cases including mental health, neurodiversity, musculoskeletal, ill health retirement advice and more.  

 

As well as providing the best care for employees, we ensure we deliver authoritative advice to management. Where employees are not fit for all of their duties full-time, we always advise on workplace adjustments. It’s a fact that 98% of absentees return to work within 5 days. Our aim is therefore to ensure these 2% of cases do not become long-term health problems.
