Management referrals play a vital role in occupational health by addressing employee health concerns raised by managers or supervisors. When a manager observes a decline in an employee’s performance or suspects a health-related issue affecting their job, they can initiate a management referral. This process involves a confidential assessment by occupational health professionals, aiming to identify any underlying health problems, workplace stressors, or other factors affecting the employee’s well-being and job performance. Management referrals facilitate early intervention, allowing for appropriate support, adjustments, or rehabilitation, ultimately promoting a healthier and more productive workforce while maintaining the employee’s privacy & dignity.
