Occupational Health

Forward-thinking organisations recognise that managing their people is just as important to success as control of financial and capital resources. Some organisations are moving towards a promoting a concept of 'wellness' as a preventative measure to address employee health. Through an investment in people, organisations can achieve excellence and maintain a leading edge.
Organisations can improve the current and future health and success of their enterprise by developing a healthy culture and adopting a systematic approach to occupational health.

The role of an occupational health service

The CIPD absence management survey reveals that occupational health involvement is regarded by HR practitioners as the most effective method of managing long-term absence. However, only 70% of organisations use occupational health services to manage long-term absence and just 47% do so to help manage short-term absence.

Occupational health services should:

• monitor the health of employees
• help identify health problems and fitness for work issues at an early stage
• formulate rehabilitation programmes/return to work strategies
• work closely with line managers and HR professionals
• promote employee wellbeing and healthy living.
