Sickness Absence costs UK Industry £103bn per year*. All evidence suggests that early intervention is the key to effective absence management and a reduction of the associated costs of absence and lost productivity. This is particularly apparent in musculoskeletal and mental health conditions where access to treatment as soon as possible is key to affecting a return to the workplace.  ​

 ​

Once referred to OH Works we book appointments with a qualified health professional quickly and provide management with a comprehensive report within 48 hours, often on the same day as the appointment providing high quality actionable advice. We are available for managers and HR and can arrange case conferences for complex and sensitive cases and continue to provide advice until cases are resolved.   ​

​

Our clinical team of specialists offers a range of useful guidance and recommendations across many conditions or cases including mental health, neurodiversity, musculoskeletal, ill health retirement advice and more.  All assessments are undertaken with Equalities Act compliance in mind supporting employers fulfil their legal and moral obligations to their workforce.​

 ​

It’s a fact that 98% of absentees return to work within 5 days. Our aim is therefore to ensure the 2% of cases do not become long-term health problems.
