Arranging a work ability meeting with occupational health
In a work ability meeting, the employee, the manager and occupational health care look together for ways to continue working or return to work. A well-prepared meeting can prevent a long absence and find solutions such as partial sickness allowance or adjusted duties.
You will need
- Your workplace’s early support model
- Occupational health care contact details
- Information on the work tasks and possible adjustments
- The employee’s consent to the meeting
