TESTIMONIALS

"We take our responsibilities for our employees extremely seriously and have had an association with Ashling Occupational Health for over a decade.

Working in conjunction with Factory Management, Human Resources and Health and Safety personnel, Ashling have been able to develop very close links with our employees. Primarily this has been achieved via hands on Occupational Health nursing at grass routes level resulting in a high degree of trust, mutual understanding and respect.

We have faced a myriad of change in legislation over this time together with Ashling who can be said to be an important and integral part of our business.

We believe that if a job is worth doing it is worth doing well and consider that the Occupational Health support we give to our employees is among the best available.

Ashling's approach is not just about damage limitation and staying ahead of the ever increasing legal complexities - it's about being proactive and ensuring the welfare of the business through the welfare of our employees."


Technical Director National Multi-site Manufacturer

"We have used the excellent services of Ashling Occupational Health Ltd for nearly 10 years now.  During this time, we have been expertly guided through the minefields of Stress Management, DDA, Drug and Alcohol testing, Sickness Absence Management as well as many other potentially contentious issues. The advice and support provided is extremely professional, whilst also containing a pragmatic understanding of the needs of a very busy Manufacturing business. I would commend Ashling to any business looking for a modern approach to Occupational Health."

UK Head of Human Resources

"Ashling have provided excellent occupational health services to our North West facility for nearly seven years. Their approach has been to fully understand the needs of the business and offer solutions that protect both the Company and our employees. The staff led by Dr O'Sullivan, have become part of our community, winning the trust and respect of everyone on site. Their recent work on our behalf has been to support a recruitment campaign during which they have delivered everything required of them, even when conditions have meant significant changes at very short notice. This activity has not been at the cost of their regular services such as support with absence management, on site medical services, medical interpretation and sound practical advice.

I would recommend a discussion with Ashling if your business is seeking a progressive, customer focused and cost effective supplier of occupational health
services."


UK Regional HR Manager

"We have utilised the services of Ashling occupational Health for eight years and have found their services to be professional, efficient and effective. Having identified a significant drugs problem on site we were able to implement a robust procedure and programme of pre-employment and random testing that has significantly reduced our incident rates on site and has been positively received by employees.

Utilising Ashling's contacts we are now able to provide a full OH service, including physiotherapy, psychiatry and specialist consultations to support and aid our employees in their desire to return to work. The employee relations benefits of this support are clear, as is the financial benefit of reducing time away from work and the additional costs associated with covering absent staff.

In addition to the regular support from the OH nursing Team we have utilised Dr O'Sullivan to advise, guide and challenge on particularly difficult medical and HSE related areas. His advice and guidance has allowed us to progress in difficult situations and he is able to advise us, and our employees, on what options may be available. Frequently candid in his advice he also brings a level of "real world reality" into his conversations that is often missing when seeking advice from other professions.

Having managed HR and HSE operations for a number of businesses in Europe I can recommend Ashling's blend of occupational health guidance as amongst the best that I have come across."


HR Manager

"The management of absence within an organisation is only possible through effective measurement, an understanding of the causes and implementation of appropriate control policies. Understanding the causes of absence is the biggest problem for HR practitioners and this is where Ashling Occupational Health has made the greatest impact on our organisation and the management of sick absence. They work with us proactively to promote the good health of our employees and ensure that we as an organisation have sound advice in order to take appropriate measures to manage ill health.

The team, lead by Dr John O'Sullivan, are fully committed to providing an efficient, cost effective service to the organisation and have proved invaluable in supporting our business and welfare needs.

Employee Relations Manager

"We have worked with Ashling for over 14 years. Both the company and employees benefit from the pro-active occupational health service they provide. Key to this is the relationship with employees that has been developed through the regular attendance of their Occupational Health Nurse, which has broken down traditional barriers.

A major benefit of these weekly visits has been the early identification of medical / health issues, which has enabled positive actions to be taken to resolve them. This results in benefits to both the company and employees.

Employees benefits include:-being able to talk through problems confidentially with the nurse, knowing this confidentiality is maintained."

-identifying the correct treatment / action to be taken:
-follow up discussions with the nurse
-peace of mind
-improved health

Company benefits include:-minimised absence:
-reduced cost (sick pay/overtime/disruption)
-recognition of providing a valued service
-peace of mind
