Occupational Health Assessments
Our Occupational Health Assessment service is exclusively available to existing Health Assured customers who have an active Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) in place.
What Is an Occupational Health Assessment?
An occupational health assessment occurs when an employee returns to work after an extended period of absence or in situations where an employee’s health is affecting their work.
We offer a myriad of services that can be purchased on a ad hoc basis. Absenteeism is costing the UK economy more than £100 billion per year. This is an issue that effects all businesses, and we fully appreciate that employers need a professional and worthwhile advise when dealing with staff absence management.
Designed to support employers in managing employee health issues related to work, our assessments provide professional recommendations for adjustments that promote a safer and healthier working environment.
Our Occupational Health Services
Please note: This service is only available to businesses currently using Health Assured’s EAP services
We deliver a comprehensive approach with our clients, and we always endeavour to offer support and guidance to businesses and their employees.
Our expert team of clinicians will assess an employee’s health conditions and ability to work and provide a clear written report to help the employer manage the case. We will make recommendations regarding reasonable adjustments if we think the Equality Act may apply.
We can also advise on suitable return-to-work dates and which jobs those affected could safely carry out. It may be that your employees need rehabilitation on their return to work and sickness absence or adjustments made to be able to perform their roles efficiently.

Summary of Service
An assessment is formatted to be a confidential conversation between an employee and a health professional with the aim of which is to develop a medical opinion on an employee’s ability to work or not. Our service provides a rehabilitation programme to assist employees in returning to work. A clear, concise, and unambiguous report will be provided, with access to employment law advice and managerial support.
As an occupational health provider, we understand employers want a quick turnaround and quality reporting when dealing with staff absence. We understand the time and quality of reporting along with general service provision is a key issue within the Occupational Health arena.
