Improving your experience with occupational health

Occupational therapy is a powerful solution to improve both employee health and business performance. By partnering with OT as part of your occupational health strategy, you can address both physical and mental health challenges, reduce absenteeism, and create a more supportive, efficient work environment.

Our team of expert OTs delivers tailored solutions that help employees thrive, benefiting both your workforce and your bottom line. Services are available throughout the UK.

Experience & process for occupational health.

At Rehab Jigsaw, we offer both telephone and face-to-face occupational health assessments to help you better understand an employee’s challenges and find practical solutions. After the assessment, you’ll receive a clear report detailing the difficulties the employee faces, recommended reasonable adjustments, and guidance on how to address any issues fairly and consistently, balancing the employee’s needs with their job demands.

Telephone Assessments:

Telephone assessments provide initial screening information that allows us to offer immediate advice and recommendations. This option is ideal for a quick overview of the situation.

Face-to-Face Assessments:

For more detailed insights, we conduct in-depth face-to-face assessments, either in the workplace or at the employee’s home. During these assessments, the employee will be interviewed about their health, how it impacts their work and home life, and any treatments they’ve received. We also gather information on their job role to tailor our recommendations effectively. Standardized assessments and screening tools may be used, and, if necessary, we may request medical information from the employee’s GP.

Tailored Recommendations for a Sustainable Return to Work:

In addition to the initial report, Rehab Jigsaw’s Occupational Therapists can perform follow-up reviews after the employee’s return to work. This allows us to monitor progress, adjust recommendations if needed, and ensure a smooth transition back to full duties.

We can also complete an Allied Health Profession “Health and Work Report” if required.

Rehab Jigsaw’s support can make a real difference to overcoming the effects of illness or disability, regardless of the cause, to enable employees undertake their everyday tasks and work roles.
CASE STUDY:

Occupational therapy in occupational health

Rehab Jigsaw was approached by a large, well-established Occupational Health provider to provide bespoke occupational therapy services to complement their existing professional team comprising of Occupational Health physicians and nurses, physiotherapists, and counsellors. Rehab Jigsaw’s OTs have specialised knowledge and clinical expertise. We were able to identify that employees referred to Occupational Health with complex conditions, which may include a combination of physical, sensory, cognitive and psychological symptoms were very well-suited to being assessed by our OTs due to our dual training.

The Occupational Health team regularly referred employees to Rehab Jigsaw for our specialised skills. We have been able to enhance their UK wide services and have consistently delivered timely assessments and specific, detailed reports.

‘I just thought I should drop you a note saying how grateful I was for your assistance in helping one of our employees, it was not the easiest of cases but I am pleased to report that the employee now seems much happier and your help and advice has gone a long way towards this improvement. We would have hesitation in asking for assistance again should the case arise.’
