EARLY INTERVENTION ASSESSMENT
This process aims to assist a manager or HR practitioner to identify whether medical and/or rehabilitative intervention is required for an employee struggling to cope at work. Since the employer is not permitted to enquire after an employee's health, a third party is needed to act as the middle-man. In this instance, where the employee's functional capacity to perform is in question, an Occupational Therapist is the only medical practitioner able to facilitate this process.
Early intervention could quite possibly permit a non-productive employee to stay at work and/or remain functional and productive. This aims to avoid high staff turnover, application of a disability claim and/or financial drain on operations.
STAY AT WORK PROGRAMMES
The Stay at Work (SAW) Programme is the implementation of the Early Intervention Assessment recommendations - it is prehab. The aim is to assist an employee to function better at work by providing the necessary medical and vocational support and/or rehabilitation while ensuring s/he continues to add value to the organisation.
Our SAW Programmes generally last 6-8 weeks. During this process we offer vocational rehabilitation and/or vocational support to the employee, line manager, HR or team to ensure success
