What does an employment expert do?
The employment expert is an expert on people, work and income. The employment expert evaluates people's workload and load capacity, offers help in preventing and recovering from disability and always looks for opportunities to increase their work capacity. These services empower people, making them see opportunities instead of limitations. This keeps people performing optimally and sustainably employable.
This is the short answer to the question: what does an employment expert do?
We will go into it in some detail below and will outline the steps an occupational health expert takes when conducting an occupational health examination:
Employment expert's work
An occupational expert can assess whether someone is able to work. He/she aims to draw up a plan explaining which actions the employer and employee can take together to enable a return to work. Support from a company doctor, insurance doctor or medical advisor is necessary for this. Information will first be collected using the Functional Possibilities List (FML). In addition, the occupational expert will provide advice on many different themes; does the old job still offer prospects? Or is an adjustment of the function and/or the work environment necessary? Is there another similar function that is suitable for the person in question? Are there any questions about training or retraining employees? Can an employer count on subsidies?
In the Netherlands there are approximately 3,500 occupational experts, of which more than 3,200 are members of the NVvA. A significant number operate as freelancers, while a large number work for UWV, insurance companies and consultancy firms. Together they cover a wide range of tasks that we briefly summarize below.
Occupational health and safety services and Re-integration companies have an important task in assisting people with disabilities. Our employment experts provide them with support in returning to work, whether in their original job with adjustments or a change to another employer. Coaching and training reintegration supervisors are also part of our remit as well as advice on sick leave prevention and setting up company care plans. We are ready to offer the right help with the effect that your employees quickly regain optimum performance in their roles.
Employment experts and UWV WERKbedrijf
UWV WERKbedrijf employs employment experts who jointly assess the incapacity for work of insured persons with insurance doctors. They advise employers on their reintegration obligations and offer expert opinion earlier in the process on behalf of employer and employee. They also encourage people to look for their way back to work by advising them on ergonomic adjustments in the workplace as well as retraining and retraining. Employment experts at UWV WERKbedrijf concentrate mainly on reintegration and job mediation for people with benefit status.
Labour experts and insurers
In insurance experts, occupational health and safety experts perform disability assessments. These assessments support a wide range of financial products, including disability, accident, life and liability insurance. Assessments include determining the loss of income for self-employed individuals due to disability, necessary adjustment of workplaces, claims filed with UWV or employers and reintegration programs. In addition, experts are increasingly looking at preventive measures that can prevent large claims and provide business assistance.
