Return to Work Planning

Making the transition back to work smooth and sustainable

Returning to work after sickness absence can be a stressful time for both employers and employees. Our aim is to make this process as straightforward as possible, ensuring a stress-free and sustainable transition.

Empowering you and your employees

  • Over 2.5 million people are economically inactive due to long-term sickness (ONS, 2023).
  • Keeping people in the workplace and minimising sickness absences is key.
  • Evidence shows that good work is beneficial, while worklessness is detrimental—not just for the individual, but also for businesses, the economy and wider society.
  • Early referral to occupational health can prevent 2 out of 3 sickness absences (OH Trends Report, 2023).

Our Approach

We take a collaborative, solution-based approach to return-to-work planning. For us, it’s not just a tick box exercise. We work closely with both parties to bridge the gap between work and health. By identifying and tackling obstacles to returning to work and employing an evidence-based, biopsychosocial approach, we empower everyone involved to achieve a smooth and successful transition.
