Occupational Health
A pharmacy manager may create referrals for an employee to Occupational Health for a variety of reasons:
- Short-term or long-term sickness absence
- Concerns over performance or behaviour
- Concerns over an employee’s capacity to continue to work
- To determine whether an employee is fit to attend a disciplinary or other meetings
- Following a serious accident or illness at work
WorkNest’s sister company, Healthwork, are a leading provider of innovative Occupational Health solutions in the UK. Healthwork can advise managers regarding an employee’s health issues, including any reasonable adjustments that could be considered to ensure a safe/healthy working environment. They can also help to assess an employee’s fitness for work.
All of this supports decision making, saves you pharmacy money and helps get staff back to work quickly – the outcome being a happier and healthier workforce.
