Sandra,
While I might change the wording I will not change the meaning e.g. HR may
consider that a manger would be more amenable if different phraseology were
used. However I would not change the essence of my advice just to suit HR &
management whims/hidden agendas etc. I've always found that establishing a
mutually respectful relationship with HR teams has helped me do the best for
my clients (which of course includes the organization too).

Many thanks to those who replied to my posting. I'd just like to ask
something further on the subject.
For those whose OHP's letters are "vetted" by HR, and I use the word
loosely, if HR raise objections to what is written because they don't like
what is said, do you then change it to suite HR?
This would then infer that if OH advisors were to write to management and
they objected to the advice and recommendations given would we were then be
expected to change what is written to suite management? There would be no
point in referring to occupational health in the first place if management
did not wish our opinion. Am I incorrect in thinking our position is
supposed to be objective and arbitrary?
Our role is that of advisor and if management choose not to take our advice
that is their choice, that surely equally goes for advice from the OHP?
Best Regards,
Sandra
