What are occupational health services?
Occupational health services aim to understand and improve the overall health of your workforce, with regards to both their physical and mental wellbeing. This happens through a series of assessments designed to uncover your company's unique health risks and create an action plan to minimise these risks and assist employees with their needs.
Occupational health services may also include other supportive services, such as navigating the most recent legislation, assisting employees returning to work after absence, vaccinations and more.
What do occupational health services include?
There are a wide range of occupational health services that aim to improve the health or your workforce and reduce absence. You may have flexibility over which of these services you purchase, while others may be grouped together within a single policy. We can help you navigate the various services on offer and answer any questions you have about each, with some of the options being as follows:
Complex case support
Get third-party support when a complex health issue affects a member of your team.
Independent medical assessments
Assess the mental and physical health of individuals, teams or the entire workforce.
