Purpose of the Service

The aim of the WHMR is to assist employees and employers to manage long term and fluctuating health conditions in the workplace to facilitate sustained work engagement  

What is a Workplace Health Management Resource

This is a collaborative process involving the VRC, the employee and their manager to facilitate discussion on adjustments and to support management of any condition where symptoms are long term, reoccur, or fluctuate. The service includes:

Explaining the impact of the employee’s condition at work and how to recognise the signs they might be becoming unwell

Providing advice and guidance on reasonable adjustments specific to the employee, their health condition and how it impacts them at work

Keeping an accurate record of reasonable adjustments agreed between employee and their Manager

Providing a toolkit of individualised information and resources for the employee and employer to support and aid understanding and management of the employee’s health condition in the workplace

Promoting regular review and discussion with the manager in discussing effectiveness of adjustments made, in considering any changes to the employee’s circumstances, and reviewing requirements to further amend the WHMR as necessary with the agreement of both parties.  

Establishing an agreed action plan between employee and their Manager should the employee become unwell at work (including who to contact if necessary)

Agreeing how and when the Manager and employee will stay in touch during absence periods

Agreeing return to work arrangements

Providing continuity of onward support, minimising the need to re-negotiate adjustments each time there is a change of jobs, re-location or a new manager is assigned within the organisation

Who is this suitable for?

Employees with long-term health conditions who are returning to or struggling in work. This is particularly useful for individuals with fluctuating or invisible conditions such as mental health, muscular sclerosis, chronic pain or fatigue.

Kind words from our clients

Ergocom provided in depth consultation covering a phased return to work plan, equipment for both home and workplace that would help with recovery and advice surrounding how colleagues could help in the workplace. The phased return to work plan was successful in that the return to work has now been sustained over a number of years.
Andrew Fitzsimmons
Manager Employer
Ergocom provided me with a friendly, approachable and very professional consultant who encouraged me where I felt I was regularly failing. Sue is just fantastic. I was speaking to someone who actually understood and who helped and supported me in a caring and constructive manner, which is what I so desperately needed. I have struggled badly, but this is the first decently sustained return to work after I had four failed attempts over a 16 month period.

It has been good to look back from when I was recovering from the operation, to getting back to work and to where I am now.  Christa’s support meant that I did not have to stress about work, and that I was not going to be forced into work before I was ready.  The ‘hand-holding’ when I did start work was important - I needed someone one to say, “no, not yet’ and “OK, now you are ready to give it a go".

It’s been really good having you working on the account and I have really valued your input (and wisdom ) on the wide variety of cases we have.

Support from Ergocom has been a great asset in my rehabilitation and return to work. Being able to speak to a third party with an understanding of the difficulties of returning from a major illness and surgery has been an invaluable source of comfort and support through the “ups and downs”.

I wanted to say a huge thank you for all of your help and support, I couldn’t have made it back to where I am now without your help. My doctor also said that he has been very impressed with how my employer has handled my return, and I believe that a lot of that credit must go to you. I was dreading returning to work, but you have made it so much easier than I thought it would be.

The help and advice I have received has been invaluable. The guidance and support provided to me has given me the tools I needed to work with my employer to ensure an amicable agreement during my return to work.
