By working with Occupational Medicals, we have reduced both short-term and long-term sickness levels among our employees. They provided a fantastic service, with lots of helpful information and advice.
- Elaine Allen, personnel officer at Manchester Working
With 550 staff involved in building repairs and maintenance of social housing and public buildings, Manchester Working knew that finding a good occupational health provider was a key business requirement.
Our team came highly recommended, and we now provide Manchester Working with a full range of services, including pre-employment questionnaires and medicals, reviews on fitness to work, consultations on medical retirements and a whole host of health surveillance requirements on site.
“…..a fantastic service with so much information…..”
Elaine Allen, personnel officer at Manchester Working, confirms: “The company wanted to reduce absenteeism in the workforce but I, personally, wanted to ask a question and receive a straightforward answer – and Occupational Medicals have delivered on both counts.
“By working together, we have reduced both short-term and long-term sickness levels. From my point of view, I get clear, concise, definitive reports that are speedily sent – it’s a fantastic service because I get so much information to work from. Our employees have told me that seeing the Occupational Medicals doctor really puts their mind at rest because they get time, attention, advice and recommendations that alleviate many of their problems. As a result, everyone is more productive – it’s a real win-win situation.”
