return to work planning and mentoring

Most of us have never had to think about how to get back to work...

After the initial shock of your situation, getting your head around it and getting through your treatment, then you have to think about getting back to work....and most of us have never had to think about how to get back to work after illness or injury, and honestly, lots of people get really anxious about this - what, when, how?

Return to Work Mentoring - the first 3 months

Once out of the crisis stage and considering how to return to work or business it is important to have a plan and strategies to ensure your health needs remain a priority as you start to resume work tasks.

There are many effective techniques and tools for this stage to support you as you navigate the challenges of starting working again, whilst still needing health care, recovery and rehabilitation.

This service is like putting the stabilisers on your bike - you are ready but need a plan and a little extra help. You will have a personal return to work and short term health and work management plan.
