Our service is designed to offer essential guidance and resources during this challenging period, facilitating a seamless transition back to the workplace. We understand the difficulties associated with returning to work after an absence and are committed to supporting both the employee and the employer through this process.

TAC Healthcare's one day absence counselling service is designed to offer essential guidance and resources during this challenging period, facilitating a seamless transition back to the workplace. We understand the difficulties associated with returning to work after an absence and are committed to supporting both the employee and the employer through this process.
The service is initiated when an employee is issued a ‘Fit Note’ specifying stress, work-related stress, or anxiety as the reason for absence.
Managers, Occupational Health, or Human Resources can access TAC Healthcare’s Day One Absence Counselling and Support Service to request support for an employee’s return to work. Direct employee self-referral is not accepted.
Upon completion of the referral form, and with the employee’s consent, a TAC Healthcare counsellor will contact the employee on the same day.
A comprehensive 30-minute assessment will be conducted to evaluate the employee’s needs, concerns, and recovery goals. This information will inform the development of a tailored support plan. The employee will receive guidance on available resources and support options.
A detailed assessment report will be shared with the manager, HR, or Occupational Health within two working days, subject to the employee’s consent.
