When one of your employees is off sick with a work-related injury or illness, you will be concerned not only with their well-being but also the impact on your business. In Britain around 30 million days are lost each year due to work-related injury or illness, at an estimated cost of £30bn to British businesses.

BRIT's new absence management and rehabilitation service is designed to help control your employees’ absence and associated costs.

The service has two main aspects:

1. Brit Absence Management

Brit Absence Management is beneficial to both your employees and your business. It manages absence proactively and effectively by intervening at an early stage when an employee has been absent for more than three days. Brit assess your employee’s injury or illness, and then in consultation, they agree and implement the best course of action to help your employee get back to work.

2. Brit Rehabilitation
If your employee is absent, or is likely to be absent, for more than a month Brit provide a comprehensive service which may involve provision of medical services, liability investigation and back-to-work planning. 

Brit Rehabilitation can call upon the expertise of more than 300 qualified doctors and other specialists.  Nationwide, Brit have a nursing network and 82 health screening locations. This enables us to give expert opinion, advice and arrange any necessary treatment quickly and efficiently. They are well qualified to assist with a full range of illnesses and injuries, including the two most common causes of work-related sick leave: musculoskeletal disorders and stress, both of which respond well to rehabilitation assistance.

By cutting out delays for vital scans, tests or treatment, Brit can ensure that your employee is quickly diagnosed and treated, so that they can get better as soon as possible.

Each employee is assigned a case manager, so that you can be sure of consistent monitoring and support for your employee.
