People Matters Occupational Health Services

Our occupational health services help SMEs manage employee wellbeing, reduce absence and support workplace health compliance. Working alongside our HR and health and safety teams, our specialists provide practical occupational health support, including absence reviews, workplace assessments and medical referrals. Our services are designed to help employers make informed decisions while supporting employee wellbeing.

Sickness Absence Reviews

Occupational health reports are often required when managing long-term sickness absence or health-related performance concerns. Our specialists carry out detailed absence reviews and provide clear recommendations, which our team of HR professionals can use when managing your absence issues, helping employers make informed decisions while supporting employee wellbeing.

Workplace Assessments

A safe and comfortable working environment is essential for employee wellbeing and productivity. We assess both the employee and their working environment, providing practical recommendations to improve comfort, reduce risk and support ongoing health issues where required. Where necessary, we can arrange further assessment through a qualified ergonomics specialist.

New Joiner Medicals

Pre-employment health assessments help employers understand any workplace adjustments that may be required and ensure employees are fit for their role. Assessments can be completed as a full medical examination or through a pre-employment health questionnaire. In accordance with the Equality Act 2010, health assessments are only completed after a conditional offer of employment has been made.

Additional occupational health services include:

  • Drivers Medicals.
  • Skin Assessments.
  • Audiology (Hearing Test).
  • Spirometry (Lung function test).

Our services are designed to be cost-effective and scalable for businesses of all sizes. Whether you’re looking to comply with health and safety regulations, reduce absenteeism or improve employee well-being, People Matters can help.
