Workplace Assessments for Employers
Clear, practical workplace support – from assessment through to implementation.
Clear, practical workplace support – from assessment through to implementation.
When an employee is experiencing barriers at work, knowing what support is appropriate is not always straightforward. AptoLink helps employers, HR, People and Occupational Health teams understand what is needed, identify proportionate workplace adjustments and put the right support in place.
Whether an employee is struggling, returning to work, has recommendations from Occupational Health or you want to act before an issue escalates, we can help identify the right next step.

Not Sure What Support Your Employee Needs?
Workplace issues rarely arrive neatly labelled. An employee may be struggling with their workstation, neurodivergence, a health condition, technology, working practices or returning to work. Managers may be unsure what adjustments are appropriate, while HR needs a clear way forward.
AptoLink assesses the employee in the context of their role, working environment and day-to-day tasks, identifies the barriers affecting them and recommends support that is appropriate to the individual and the organisation.
From Workplace Problem to
Practical Support
Our involvement does not have to end when the assessment report is delivered.
Where appropriate, AptoLink can support the complete journey:
Assess
Recommend
Implement
Train & Support
Employers can use one specialist partner to identify needs and support the technology, software, equipment, coaching or training that follows, helping turn recommendations into meaningful workplace support.
Which Workplace Assessment Do You Need?
Different workplace issues require different types of assessment. If you are unsure which is appropriate, tell us what is happening and we can help you choose the right route.
Workplace Needs Assessments
A broader assessment of the employee’s role, working practices, barriers and support needs, with recommendations for appropriate workplace adjustments.
DSE & Workstation Assessments
For employees experiencing discomfort or difficulties associated with their desk, screen, seating or workstation set-up, identifying practical changes to improve comfort and safe working.
Ergonomic Assessments
A more detailed assessment where posture, musculoskeletal discomfort, equipment or the physical working environment may be contributing to difficulties.
Neurodiversity Workplace Assessments
Designed to understand workplace barriers experienced by neurodivergent employees and identify strategies, adjustments, technology, coaching or training that can help them work effectively.
Access to Work Taking Too Long?
If an employee needs support now, waiting for Access to Work can delay the adjustments they need to work effectively.
AptoLink’s ACE service provides employers with a faster, privately funded alternative. We assess the employee’s workplace needs, provide clear recommendations, and can support the next steps with assistive technology, equipment, software, coaching or training.
ACE gives HR and People teams a practical route to put support in place without waiting for the Access to Work process to be completed.
Recommendations designed to work in the real world
A workplace assessment should provide more than a list of problems or a catalogue of products. It should give the employer and employee a clear route forward.
Our assessors consider the employee’s role, environment, day-to-day tasks and the barriers they are experiencing. Recommendations focus on what the individual actually needs to perform their role.
Better support. Better workplace outcomes.
For organisations
Earlier intervention that can support attendance, retention and more effective use of workplace-adjustment budgets.
For HR & Occupational Health
A consistent, responsive process that helps address workplace barriers before they escalate.
For employees
The right support to help them work comfortably, confidently and effectively.
For managers
Clear recommendations and practical guidance on what to do next.
Workplace Assessments for Organisations
AptoLink works with employers across the UK, supporting individual referrals as well as organisations requiring workplace assessments at greater scale. For HR, People and Occupational Health teams, this provides a consistent process for understanding employee needs, documenting recommendations and putting support in place. Where several employees require support, we can establish a practical and consistent referral approach.

Supporting Employers After Occupational Health
Occupational Health may identify that an employee requires workplace adjustments, specialist equipment or further assessment, but employers can still be left asking: What do we do next?
AptoLink helps turn Occupational Health recommendations into action. We can provide further assessment, identify suitable technology or equipment, and deliver the training or coaching needed to implement the recommended support.
Assistive Technology and Workplace Support
Technology can make a significant difference, but only when it is appropriate for the employee, their role and the tasks they need to perform.
AptoLink can recommend suitable assistive technology and software and provide specialist training to help employees use it effectively. Our experience includes support for neurodiversity, visual impairment, hearing loss and other workplace needs.
Where a free or existing workplace solution can meet the need effectively, that should be considered too. Our focus is on the right support, not technology for technology’s sake.
