Welcome to Atos Healthcare

At Royal Mail Group, Workplace Counselling and related Atos Healthcare services have helped to reduce stress-related absence by a third.

Our Workplace Counselling service is primarily directed at assessing and rehabilitating employees who are absent from work through stress-related illness.

Employers and managers often find stress-related illness difficult to quantify and address. Professional evaluation of an employee's condition delivers an independent report from a qualified counsellor and gives the referrer – usually the employee's manager or HR – the information needed to make decisions going forward.

Atos Healthcare provides employee Workplace Counselling with fully trained and accredited counsellors, cognitive behavioural therapists, psychologists and mental health professionals. They can assess an employee's fitness for work and deliver a report that includes:

• A prognosis of the illness (or the absence of illness) and a likely date for an employee's return to work
• A realistic rehabilitation plan based on your organisation's absence management capability
• An indication of any barriers to making a full recovery including advice for managers as to the best way to overcome those barriers.

If further psychological support is required we can arrange for an employee to receive counselling to help them return to work as soon as possible. We offer a nationwide network of professionals and consultation rooms and every support session is carried out as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. We always:

• Agree clear and measurable service standards
• Keep the referrer/manager up-to-date with reports, verbally and in writing
• Provide the most appropriate and experienced practitioners.
