Workplace integration management – a supported path back to work

Every company, regardless of size, is required to offer workplace integration management to employees who have been unable to work for more than six weeks, either continuously or repeatedly, within a 12-month period.

Employees’ health data must be handled confidentially and in compliance with data protection requirements.

Workplace integration management is often associated with significant organizational effort for companies. Clear processes, sensitive communication, and documentation that complies with data protection requirements are essential to make the process work effectively in day-to-day operations.

Not every company has sufficient internal resources or the necessary experience. In these cases, we support you as an external partner throughout every phase of the workplace integration management process. At your request, we handle individual cases and facilitate workplace integration management meetings. We support you in developing tailored solutions and, where needed, involve experienced experts in occupational health, occupational safety, health management, or appropriate funding agencies. Our experts document, evaluate, and continuously improve the entire process.

Infraserv Höchst has interdisciplinary expertise in workplace integration management. This expertise is based on many years of practical experience, current professional standards, and a sound understanding of the applicable legal framework.

Through its corporate health management program, Infraserv brings together extensive expertise from various areas of occupational health to complement and optimize your company’s workplace health management activities.

For employees, working with a neutral external partner often creates greater trust because sensitive information remains outside their immediate work environment. At the same time, we reduce the burden on your organization: At your request, we handle individual cases and facilitate meetings, follow up on agreements, and maintain structured documentation, giving HR teams and managers more time to focus on their day-to-day responsibilities.

Infraserv Höchst combines workplace integration management with a structured corporate health management approach. Services in occupational health, mental health, and return-to-work support complement one another and are translated into clear processes for day-to-day business operations.

Our interdisciplinary teams and workplace integration management consultants work closely together. They combine…

• in-depth knowledge of the legal requirements for workplace integration management processes in Germany and the EU,
• many years of practical experience supporting our own workforce as well as workplace integration management processes at companies throughout Germany,
• coordinated collaboration with relevant benefit and support agencies, such as the German Pension Insurance, integration and inclusion offices, statutory accident insurance providers, and the Federal Employment Agency.

The result is a workplace integration management process that is practical to manage, provides clear guidance, and can help support employees’ long-term ability to work.

Based on the specific conditions within your company, we analyze roles, processes, and interfaces in your existing workplace integration management program. This allows us to identify where the process can work more effectively in day-to-day operations, become easier to manage, and provide greater clarity for everyone involved. Our key goals include:

Building trust and providing guidance for employees: We provide clear information about the process, roles, and next steps in workplace integration management.

Supporting a structured return to work: We assist with gradual reintegration after an extended illness and help promote employees’ ability to remain in the workforce.

Reducing the burden on managers: At your request, we handle individual cases, facilitate workplace integration management meetings, and support the development of tailored solutions.

Simplifying organization: We structure administrative tasks, monitor deadlines, follow up on action items, and maintain clear documentation.

Ensuring reliable data protection: We help ensure that confidentiality and data protection requirements are consistently addressed and properly documented throughout the process.
