Sickness absence management
Sickness absence brings uncertainty — for the employee who is at home, but also for you as an employer. What can you expect? What do you need to do? And how do you stay in control of the process without losing sight of the human aspect? Effective absence management makes the difference. That is why you work with a dedicated case manager who knows your organisation well.
At invita arbo, we support sickness absence from the first sick report through to a responsible return to work. Our case managers do this with a personal approach, clear communication and a focused goal: finding the shortest path to sustainable recovery.
How does our sickness absence management work for employers?
When an employee reports sick, you can rely on the support of your dedicated case manager, who works with you towards a sustainable solution. With the approach outlined below, you stay in control of the absence process and employees return to work responsibly and without unnecessary delay.
1. Fast and clear action after a sick report
We contact you within two working days after the sick report. You immediately know what actions are required and when they need to be taken. If necessary, we involve specialist support, such as an occupational physician or additional preventive support. No waiting and seeing, but proactive case management.
2. Expert case managers and occupational physicians
Our case managers guide the entire process and ensure smooth coordination between you and the employee. They look beyond rules and protocols, with a clear focus on sustainable recovery. The occupational physician becomes involved when needed. Our physicians are highly skilled and focus on what is possible.
3. Guidance in line with the Gatekeeper Improvement Act
We monitor deadlines, ensure proper documentation and support you in preparing the problem analysis, action plan and evaluations. This way, you meet all legal requirements and avoid unnecessary sanctions from the UWV.
4. Clear communication, without confusion
No complex jargon or unclear reports. We communicate in a clear and straightforward way. You and your employee always know what is happening, why it is necessary and what the next step is.
5. Focus on return to work
We keep our focus on recovery and return to work — whether in the employee’s own role, with adjustments, or through an alternative route. Together with you, we actively look for possibilities.
