Long-term sickness management services

When someone’s off work for an extended period, it can be tough. For them, and for you.

Supporting an employee through long-term sickness is the right thing to do, but it also needs to be managed in a way that protects your business and keeps things moving forward.

We support organisations to manage long-term absence in a way that’s sustainable – from holding welfare meetings to interpreting medical advice.

Where a return to work is possible, we help make it a positive one. For everyone involved. That might mean planning a phased return, considering lighter duties, or making reasonable adjustments to ease someone back in. Where it’s not possible, we’ll help you manage that, sensitively, too.

With our support, long-term absence doesn’t have to mean long-term disruption.

Long-term sickness affects people and productivity. Our job is to help you manage both.
