Good consultation is important in every organization and in every position. Sometimes it is of little importance; You let them know when you're out of the office. Sometimes it is very important: you have the most important sales presentation for the largest customer and everyone wants to know what role he or she plays in this. But what if this meeting is about the future of an employee? About reintegration options and liability? Why is it so important that the doctor and Occupational Assessor Have a good consultation?

Together toward one goal

The cooperation between Occupational Assessor And being a company doctor is just like riding a tandem: you both do what you are good at and work together to achieve the goal of the sustainable reintegration of an absent employee. Sometimes one is in front, sometimes the other. You steer in the same direction, complement each other and reinforce each other.

And that's how it should be. The doctor is the medical specialist in the field of work and health and the Occupational Assessor is the specialist in the combination of people, work and income. The purpose of the physician and the Occupational Assessor is the same, namely the sustainable employability of the absent employee.

To do this, the doctor translates the employee's symptoms into possibilities and limitations, thus determining an employee's workload capacity. He or she also indicates the prognosis.

The Occupational Assessor weighs the workload in work against the capacity of the working person and conducts research into the possibilities for reintegration.

On the basis of discussions with the various parties, the Occupational Assessor Answers to four questions:

• Is employee suitable for his or her own work?
• Is employee suitable for modified own work with own employer?
• Is employee suitable for other work with own employer?
• Is employee suitable for other work with another employer?

By being on the tandem together, the goal, the sustainable employability of an employee, is easier to achieve. It may not succeed, in which case you go together to the back-up plan: an optimal reintegration path for which the UWV does not sanction.

Avoid duplicate steps

By working together and determining what the direction will be, we avoid duplicate steps in the reintegration process and work together toward the same goal. This also gives employer and employee more confidence in the process.

During the Occupational Assessor If questions arise that the doctor can best answer from his medical expertise, then consultation with the doctor is essential. This also applies the other way around. If, during the consultation with a doctor, questions arise where it is important to have a detailed description of the workload in the work, consultation with the Occupational Assessor essential.

By both using each other's expertise, we achieve the best results!

So ride that tandem!
