Employee Health Management
Redefining Occupational Health
Employee Health Management is HCB Group’s unique and modern approach to Occupational Health. In our model, we focus on identifying the real cause of the absence, (many of which have social determinants that have been medicalised and there is no medical condition at all), and we work with HR and Line Management to identify and dismantle return to work barriers.
The key to success is referring cases early enough, often whilst affected staff members are still at work. HCB Group can prove significant success from engaging in this way.
See our FAQ’s for more detailed information.
