Ons Tweede Thuis over De Arbodienst

De Arbodienst levert diensten aan uiteenlopende klanten en organisaties. Zo ook voor Ons Tweede Thuis, een zorgorganisatie met meerdere locaties voor kinderen en volwassenen met een beperking of niet aangeboren hersenletsel. Zij kunnen hier terecht voor dagbesteding, zorgondersteuning, training of therapie. Ingrid Klok werkt als Adviseur Arbo, Gezondheid en Vitaliteit bij Ons Tweede Thuis en werkt dagelijks beleidsmatig aan de duurzame inzetbaarheid, preventie, RI&E en klantevaluaties. Ingrid werkt nu 2,5 jaar naar tevredenheid samen vanuit Ons Tweede Thuis met De Arbodienst. Ingrid deelt haar ervaringen in de samenwerking met onze arbodienstverlening.

Ingrid: “We vinden het belangrijk dat onze partners passen bij de visie van Ons Tweede Thuis. De visie en werkwijze van De Arbodienst sluiten goed bij ons aan: onze medewerkers zijn zelforganiserend, en we hechten veel waarde aan de coaching en ondersteuning die De Arbodienst biedt. De visie van De Arbodienst, waarbij de focus ligt op denken in mogelijkheden en oplossingen is van toegevoegde waarde voor ons. Kosten wegen bij het maken van de keuze ook wel mee, maar hoeven niet doorslaggevend te zijn. Als onze medewerkers goed in hun vel zitten, dan merken onze cliënten dat ook.”

The Ons Tweede Thuis site managers have direct contact with the Labor and Health Advisor and we are in contact with the employee together. What I really like about the cooperation with De Arbodienst is that it is very accessible. De Arbodienst coaches, supervises and monitors the process. The consultants have the right knowledge and expertise and give good advice; our location manager and employee remain in control. This keeps everyone actively involved and ultimately gives the best result.

De Arbodienst has its own view when it comes to occupational health services. With other health and safety services, I noticed that they were quicker to refer employees to the company doctor . The unique thing about De Arbodienst is that they put the employee first, the employee himself knows very well what he or she can and cannot do, and with a company doctor it quickly becomes very medical. Someone with a broken leg can do administrative work just fine, and the employee himself can very well indicate what the possibilities are. Then the company company doctor is not necessary. But even if someone is seriously ill, the employee and manager can make good arrangements among themselves. There is no need for a company doctor and that is what De Arbodienst assumes. A good discussion between supervisor and employee is the most important thing, and De Arbodienst provides guidance so that we can make good agreements. Protocols of the company doctor may deviate from this, but ultimately it is not about the protocols but about the best outcome and the interest of the employee.

I expect an occupational health and safety service to be able to think out of the box, think along in (practical) solutions, identify, take initiative and be proactive. And, of course, good accessibility is always nice. In thinking along and being proactive in signaling, I mean that if they find out that there are a lot of people with a certain illness in a department, the advisor will bring this up and look for the cause and solution. De Arbodienst is a good partner in this and looks beyond the standard laws and regulations.
