Implementing Occupational Health Recommendations
An Occupational Health report can identify that an employee would benefit from
workplace adjustments, equipment, specialist software or further assessment.
For HR and managers, the next question is often:
How do we turn those recommendations into practical workplace support?
AptoLink helps employers move from recommendation to implementation through workplace assessments, adjustment advice, assistive technology, equipment recommendations, coaching and specialist training.
AptoLink is not an Occupational Health provider. Our role is to help employers implement practical workplace support when Occupational Health has identified a need.
What Happens After an Occupational Health Report?
Occupational Health may recommend actions such as:
Some recommendations will be straightforward to implement. Others require more detailed assessment to establish exactly what solution will work. This is where AptoLink can help.
From General Recommendation to Practical Solution
A report may state that an employee would benefit from assistive technology or ergonomic equipment without specifying the exact solution. A workplace assessment allows us to look at the employee’s actual role and working environment and determine what is appropriate.
Rather than simply recommending “assistive software”, we can identify:
This gives the employer a much clearer basis for implementing the recommendation.
Workplace Assessments Following Occupational Health
Where further investigation is required, AptoLink can carry out an appropriate workplace assessment.
Depending on the circumstances, this could include:
We can advise which approach is most appropriate based on the Occupational
Health recommendation and the employee’s circumstances.
Helping Employers Put
Adjustments in Place
Once the employee’s requirements are understood, recommendations may include:
Recommendations can include:
workplace adjustments
specialist equipment
assistive technology
software
coaching
training
changes to working practices
Where appropriate, AptoLink can continue supporting the employer through implementation rather than simply providing the assessment report.
Support for HR and People Teams
Managing workplace adjustments can involve several people and different stages.
AptoLink provides HR and People teams with a practical route from identifying a workplace need through to implementing the recommended support.
For larger organisations, we can also discuss arrangements where several employees require assessments or workplace support.
