A ‘Bedrijfsarts’ is a medical professional who assesses and advises whether you, as an employee, are incapacitated for medical reasons and/or when you may return to work. An occupational doctor can also advise on how to improve working conditions.

The ‘arboarts’ is a basic physician who works under the supervision of a ‘bedrijfsarts’. Arboartsen have less authority. Like the company doctor (bedrijfsarts), the ‘arboarts’ assist in absenteeism and reintegration processes.

An employment specialist determines the extent to which a person can perform work. It will be examined whether you, as an employee, can return to your own work or whether another position should be sought within or outside the current employer.

An occupational psychologist is concerned with the relationship between people and their work (environment). An occupational psychologist will help you with mental health issues such as burnout or depression.

A confidant is a contact person for employees when unwanted behavior such as bullying, sexual harassment, discrimination and aggression occurs.

We work with a protected medical environment. Our system is ISO 27001 certified.

The employer does not get to see any medical information. The employer receives information only to determine what tasks can or cannot be performed by the employee.

The case manager sees only information necessary to determine what an employee can or cannot do. Medical records are confidential. Only the company doctor (bedrijfsarts) sees medical records.

This is possible. It is up to the employer to determine this.
