Sick Leave Management

We reduce illness-related absence, minimize work-related risks and ensure healthy, motivated, and competent employees. Our starting point is knowing your company's situation. Using our analysis tools, we provide insight, advice, and practical solutions that demonstrably contribute to the health and vitality of people. After all, vital staff help employers achieve their goals and realize their organizational ambitions and successes.

Policy & Procedure Management

Having clear policies and procedures regarding work absence, helps employers worry less and employees assume more responsibility for their own work ethic. We clarify who to contact, how contact should be made, and when notification of absence must be made. We also provide clarity regarding methods for dealing with frequent absenteeism. Fairness and consistency are important. Absenteeism procedures and working agreements provide a clear understanding to all parties about what the absentees’ rights and responsibilities are.

Reintegration Services

Our goal is always to prevent long-term absence and facilitate a quick and responsible return to work. The occupational health advisor considers the possibilities for return to work for your employee. For instance by making suggestions on how to adjust the workplace or looking for other work in or outside your organization. We investigate which steps the employer and employee can take to help the employee return to work. Our advice is recorded in a concrete reintegration plan with clearly laid out follow-up steps.

Coaching

Reintegration Coaching is a value added service in the field of Occupational Health, that assists employees in their return to work after long term absenteeism. By guiding employees through every step, in building their capacity to eventual full functionality, the chance of relapse decreases. In the long run, this outcome is mutually beneficial for both employer and employee.

A Reintegration Coach guides employees in various areas of absenteeism, depending on each individual's specific situation. This can be through physical exercise, mental coaching, support in selfcare or otherwise. The ultimate goal is always to return to the workplace with full functionality and minimal risk of relapse. A Reintegration Coach monitors the process, is a counselor and confidant for the employee, and a link between employer and employee.

Medwork now offers, tailor-made programs for Reintegration Coaching services. Prior to beginning counseling, the Reintegration Coach will discuss the current situation with the employer and employee, determine what the desired end result is and establish the appropriate plan of action to achieve it. Based on the needs of the employer and employee, a schedule will be agreed upon for the coaching sessions. Coaching appointments will take place in various locations and scenarios: in person, at our office, at home, via videocall, at the employees workplace or alternative locations. Progress will be regularly evaluated during the process and adjustments will be made if necessary. 

Labor Expert

Our Labor Expert identifies the employment possibilities and employability of an employee who is otherwise deemed as incapacitated for work (a sick employee, for example). They provide professional feedback on the employee's options in utilizing residual capacity in labor by means of the occupational health survey. The expert assesses and determines what possible functionality still exists, so that the employee can return safely to his or her own work as quickly as possible.

Human Performance Evaluations

In order to customize our services, we offer a wide array of medical evaluations, including the following exams: pre-employment, re-occurring, legally mandated, and preventive. Evaluations can determine if a person can be considered physically fit enough to be able to perform duties in a safe and healthy manner. We evaluate if a person is suffering from illness or disability as a consequence of work. We understand that the employer wants to provide safe and healthy working conditions and therefore offers employees regular, overall health checks.

Corporate Social Worker

Our corporate social worker will support you in solving bottlenecks arising from work-related situations and/or from the private situation. This may include disrupted employment relationships, reorganizations, major events or personal problems that affect work.

The added value of corporate social work lies in the activation of employees with the aim of increasing the motivation and employability of employees. The corporate social worker looks for solutions in close collaboration with the manager and the company doctor. The company doctor is involved, if necessary, to manage any medical problems in a timely manner. The employee is helped by the corporate social worker to gain insight into his/her problems. Employees are encouraged to actively deal with the problems and to take their own responsibility in looking for solutions.
