Occupational health assessment: reintegration support.
When an employee takes a long-term leave of absence, as an employer you want clarity on the possibilities for returning to work. An Occupational health assessment offers tailored insight and advice, so that together you can work towards sustainable reintegration - within or outside your organization.
What is an Occupational health assessment?
An Occupational health assessment charts whether, and in what way, your employee can (partially) return to work. This involves work within your organization (1st track) or suitable work with another employer (2nd track). The Occupational Assessor weighs the medical load capacity of the employee (as determined by the company doctor) against the physical and mental (work) load of possible jobs. The goal is to identify possible bottlenecks and possibilities.
When and why is an Occupational health assessment used?
In the event of long-term absenteeism, employer and employee are liable under the Gatekeeper Act are obliged to work together on a quick and responsible return to work. An Occupational health assessment is used when you need clear, expert and independent advice on the possibilities of returning to work.
How does an Occupational health assessment proceed?
The study consists of the following components:
- Interview with employer (including workplace visit) - approx. 60 minutes
- Conversation with the employee - approximately 60 minutes
- Joint discussion (optional) - 10 to 60 minutes
These interviews usually take place at the employer's location. The Occupational Assessor incorporates the findings into a report that serves as the basis for the further reintegration process.
During the Occupational health assessment assessment, the Occupational Assessor answers the following questions:
- Is return to one's own work possible?
- Can the employee's own work be modified?
- Can the employee reintegrate into other work with their own employer?
- Are there opportunities to guide the employee to suitable work with another employer?
The results are recorded in a clear and concrete advisory report. This allows you and your employee to take the right next steps towards sustainable employability and successful reintegration.
