Services · Return to work

Get back at your own pace

Coming back after time off can feel like a lot. Talk it through with someone who has done it.

Every stage

Before · during · after

01 — Before

While you’re off

Stay in touch on your terms, prepare for return-to-work meetings, and think about what you’ll need.

02 — During

Your first weeks back

Talk through how it’s going, what’s working and what isn’t, as you build back up.

03 — After

Settling in

Keep going with support as long as it helps, and plan for any bumps along the way.

Things we often talk about

You’re not the only one

  • Phased returns and what to ask for.
  • What to say to colleagues about your time off.
  • Worries about falling behind or being judged.
  • Managing energy, pain or symptoms during the working day.
