Occupational Health Assessments with HA | Wisdom Wellbeing
Exclusively available to existing EAP clients, our Occupational Health Assessments give employers clear, expert guidance to support employee wellbeing, manage health concerns and meet your legal duties under Irish employment law, including the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. These assessments provide practical, evidence‑based recommendations that help you make informed decisions, reduce risk and maintain a safe, compliant workplace.
Why Irish employers need Occupational Health support
Occupational Health Assessments help HR teams and managers understand how an employee’s health may be affecting their ability to work — or how the role itself may be impacting their wellbeing. They provide clear, professional guidance to resolve complex situations and support safe, sustainable working arrangements.
Workplace health remains a major challenge across Ireland. Stress, anxiety, depression and musculoskeletal disorders are among the most common work‑related health issues, often leading to increased absence, reduced productivity and higher operational costs. Effective Occupational Health support helps employers reduce risk and protect both employee wellbeing and business performance.
How Occupational Health Assessments support Irish businesses
Employee health directly influences business performance. With access to Occupational Health Assessments, you can better understand an employee’s needs, make informed adjustments and reduce the risk of rising absence and its associated costs. Our assessments provide clear, professional recommendations that help you create a safer, healthier and more productive working environment.

How Occupational Health Assessments work with HA | Wisdom Wellbeing
Available exclusively to clients with an existing EAP, our clinicians assess an employee’s health condition, their ability to work and any factors within the role that may be affecting their wellbeing. After the assessment, you’ll receive a clear written report with professional recommendations, including any reasonable adjustments that can support the employee and help you manage the case effectively.
We can also advise on suitable return‑to‑work dates, phased return plans and adjustments to duties — for example, reducing manual handling or modifying tasks. Where needed, we highlight whether rehabilitation, short‑term absence or further workplace adjustments would help the employee perform their role safely and efficiently.
