How's business?

Absence management and measurement, effective return-to-work policies and strategies that reduce the impact of unauthorised leave

Measure the cost to your business of absence, set targets to reduce time lost, take practical action to address problems and measure the results in time, productivity and efficiency.

Benchmark your absence performance against industry averages and create strategies and processes to ensure your business competes.  Reducing the impact of absence either authorised or unauthorised is essential to the wellbeing of your business.

How are your staff?

Workforce health promotion, staff wellbeing, health surveillance, medical screening and pre-placement health examinations.

Set up early warnings for emerging health problems in your workforce. Collect data and identify trends, plan and execute tried and tested strategies to head off future issues.  Evidence based decisions regarding medical issues are the cornerstone to a healthy business.

Design health surveillance plans for specific risks and staff, then monitor the results. Create systems that will get the right staff doing the right job, and enjoy the benefits of greater efficiency and all round health and safety.

Create wellbeing strategies to promote staff health and a safe working environment, then measure the gains in efficiency, morale and costs achieved.

How we assist

IOH training for managers in appraisal skills, back-to- work interviews, risk assessment and legal compliance through record-keeping and paper-trail management.

Giving your staff and line managers the data they need to measure, predict and prevent absence, sickness and accidents will ensure that your staff are prepared for the challenge these issues bring.

Review and update attendance management policies, create recording systems that ensure legal compliance and design back-to-work processes that cut absence through repeated illness.

Loyal staff help to ensure that your business is competitive.  You need these staff fit and at work.  The key to managing sickness absence and minimising claims is earlier and well informed intervention.  This is where IOH can assist.
