Occupational Health

InterHealth is experienced in helping organisations to form policies for staff health and welfare, and in providing the necessary services that result, including Occupational Health, Psychological Health, Counselling and Trauma management, Travel Health, Work-Life Balance and Stress Management Support.

Occupational Health is a specialist field of nursing and medicine that helps to ensure that individuals are fit and safe to do the jobs they are employed for, that their work is not likely to adversely affect their health and that employers meet their legal responsibilities.

Our Occupational Health team assists charities to achieve good health and attendance management that helps to prevent and reduce the following:

Sickness absence
Poor performance and customer service
Lost management time
Covering absent employees – overtime, agency staff etc.
Retraining and replacement costs
Adverse publicity
Loss of reputation with customers
High insurance premiums and risk of litigation
Ill health retirement
Low morale

Our Occupational Health team is equipped with specialist skills to help boost the performance of Government Agencies by reducing health risks at work, improving attendance, enabling and supporting rehabilitation and helping to prevent ill-health caused by work.

InterHealth benefits from an in-house Psychological Health Services team who are able to take on referrals from Occupational Health where sickness absence cases relate to psychological health concerns.
