Sickness Absence Management

Sickness absence management has a major impact on the success of a business. It is therefore essential to be pro-active in the management of absence.  From frequent, short, unconnected spells of absence to long-term health issues we can interpret medical information & help you to develop a structured approach for managing absence.

We have a good understanding of business needs & relevant legislation.  We work hard to provide meaningful independent reports & action plans, liaising with other health professionals where necessary, in order to facilitate a resolution. 

We can help you to arrange counselling or physiotherapy treatment to speed recovery.
