Many physical complaints develop gradually. A stiff neck, painful shoulders or back problems may seem harmless at first, but can eventually lead to reduced employability or even sick leave. That is exactly why a preventive consultation is a valuable investment in the health of employees and the continuity of your organisation.
As a sustainable-employability advisor I offer an on-site preventive consultation for organisations in the Arnhem region. Employees can easily drop in with questions or early complaints, so that timely action can be taken.
A preventive consultation helps with, among other things:
A preventive consultation can also provide insight into suitable solutions when the demands of the job no longer match an employee’s capacity.
- Neck, shoulder, arm or back complaints
- Pain during prolonged screen work
- Physical overload during work
- Difficulty lifting or working above shoulder height
- Doubts about an employee’s physical capacity
- Questions about ergonomics, lifestyle or sustainable employability
Personal advice on the work floor
During the consultation I talk to the employee confidentially and, if needed, carry out a physical or workplace examination. Based on this I give practical ergonomic advice and discuss possible next steps, such as instruction at the workplace, adjusting tasks, guidance or advice on reintegration.
All your organisation needs to provide is a quiet room for the conversation. I take care of the rest.
By investing early in a preventive consultation you actively work on sustainable employability, reduce the risk of sick leave and support employees in staying healthy, energetic and happy at work.
