Our working method

Every organization is unique. Therefore, we do not believe in standard solutions, but in concrete and customized actions. Our approach is all about the interaction between employer, employee and our professionals. With clear communication, the right expertise at the right time and a result-oriented cooperation, we take steps towards sustainable employability.

Meet your employability team

Your organization is not alone. De Arbodienst 's employability team supports both employers and employees in absenteeism management and preventing absenteeism. This multidisciplinary team consists of:

class="lazyload

The Labor and Health Advisor (AAG).

The AAG is the first point of contact for both employer and employee. He/she guides the absence process, supports reintegration and ensures that all legal obligations (such as the Wet Verbetering Poortwachter) are met. The AAG joins conversations, asks the right questions and engages the appropriate medical professional if necessary.

company doctor Practice Assistant (POB)

The POB operates under a delegation of duties agreement, under the responsibility of the Dutch Health and Safety Authority ( company doctor). During the telephone triage, the POB collects and processes information for the medical record, within the framework of the delegation of duties agreement. The Dutch Health and Safety Authority ( company doctor ) then reviews the collected information and determines the final recommendation to the employer and the employee.

The (Company) doctor

The company doctor is ultimately responsible for the employee's socio-medical counseling. He/she determines which professional takes up which file. In complex situations or stagnation, the company doctor doctor actively takes over the file and can join consultation moments within your organization.

Short lines of communication with collaboration partners

Sometimes a situation requires additional expertise. That's why your employability team works closely with the other labels within paraDIGMA groep. Think about:

  • PSION (psychologists)

  • PDG Health Services (vitality coaches)

  • Puls (reintegration specialists and labor experts)

  • OffCourse (training sessions)

  • Resolu (support in objection, appeal, WGA and sickness law)

Getting started with absenteeism and vitality

We help organizations understand the role of organizational culture and personal leadership in absenteeism, vitality and productivity. Managers are supported to take more direction in absence management. In this way, our role shifts from that of 'caretaker' to that of 'sparring partner'.

We start with the basics: what is the state of absence management in your organization? Our absence analysis maps this out and determines what phase your organization is going through. On this basis, we offer customized guidance.

Task delegation and supervision

Within De Arbodienst , we work with task delegation and supervision. This means that some tasks are performed under the responsibility of the company doctor by other professionals from the employability team. Of course, always within the framework of the applicable laws and regulations.
