Getting the right support, at the right time.

Three of the biggest challenges facing employees today:

Tricky conversations.

Health issues, especially those concerning mental health, can often be awkward or embarrassing to discuss with a line manager.

Employees may also feel guilty for not being able to work for the disruption their absence might cause to deadlines and workload.

Lack of professional support.

Over half of employees would value getting professional advice when unwell.

It's natural for employees to want to be validated and protected, especially through long-term absence, but clinical advice and triage is something line managers and HR teams are largely not equipped to provide.

Privacy and confidentiality.

Health is a very personal issue. Many employees do not feel comfortable sharing the reason for their absence with their employer, whether for fear of being judged or simply because they believe it's not something their manager or HR team need to know.

This often means that employers can't provide adequate support to help their people feel better.

“We would recommend GoodShape to other organisations who want to streamline processes and reduce absence.”

“... when we are alerted to
high levels of absence, such as musculoskeletal problems in the factory, we can proactively address them because we now have clear trigger levels in place.”

“Across 11,800 staff, GoodShape helped to recoup 33,040 working days within 12 months - or the equivalent of returning 144 full-time staff to work.”

“We estimate that we’ve saved £152,000 in terms of increased productivity and efficiency savings. This means that the absence service has provided a great return on investment, and having more employees available to work gives us a far greater opportunity to deliver a good service for our customers.”

GoodShape is not an Occupational Health provider; what we do goes far beyond that.

While we do interact with and signpost employees to Occupational Health where appropriate, our approach to Employee Health Management is focussed more on identifying the cause of an absence and working with the employee, line manager and HR to remove any barriers preventing employees from returning to work.

Whether an employee is suffering from mental health issues, musculoskeletal problems, neurological disorders, injuries or any other reason for absence, we can help to identify it early and create a tailored care plan for each absence.
