A manager recently contacted us about an employee who had been absent for an extended period. The manager wanted to do the right thing but wasn't sure how to move forward. The employee wanted to return but needed support and clarity. Following an Occupational Health assessment, practical recommendations were provided, including a phased return plan and workplace adjustments. The result? The employee returned to work with confidence, and the employer gained a clear, evidence-based plan to support them. Every situation is different, but one lesson remains consistent: early advice often prevents bigger problems later.
