What are Occupational Health services?

Occupational Health services help employers support the health, wellbeing and attendance of their workforce. They provide independent, professional advice on matters such as sickness absence, fitness for work, workplace adjustments, mental health and wellbeing, and support for employees returning to work following illness or injury. By helping organisations understand and manage health-related issues in the workplace, Occupational Health services play an important role in creating healthy, productive and supportive working environments.

To support councils across the South East, South East Employers maintains a directory of Occupational Health providers currently used by local authorities within our region. This resource enables councils to explore services, share good practice, and identify trusted providers that are already supporting public sector organisations across the South East.
