Rehabilitation should be an
integral part of a
multidisciplinary approach to
improving performance.
Rehabilitation:the
process of restoration of skills
and abilities to an employee who
has had illness or injury with a
view to regaining
self-sufficiency, self
confidence and normal function.
This process is restorative,
supportive and preventive and is
dependent on the integration of
many elements e.g. clinical
/medical, physical / functional,
occupational / vocational,
psychological / emotional. Long
delays in accessing hospital
investigations and procedures
can mean that employees are off
work for longer than should be
necessary. This is neither good
for the individual nor good for
business since long term
sickness absence itself
contributes to poor health.
Relatively small investment by
employers (e.g. targeted
treatment interventions such as
counselling or physiotherapy)
can prove cost effective in
shortening absence and
facilitating timely return to
work. Partner Health works with
clients to incorporate a
rehabilitative approach to
dealing with common health
problems when they act as
impediments to work.
Partner Health facilitates a
return to work by incorporating
a number of programmes.
