Dear Patricia,
Our Trust policy is that all Management referrals have to have the
consent of the employee before they attend OH. A copy of the report is
also sent to the employee and the manager is aware of this.
I do not specifically state that I have discussed the report with the
employee, but this seems an essential part of the process to ensure
transparency , if not, then your employees could argue that you are
supporting HR and not impartial.
Hope this is helpful, good luck!

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Management Referral/Report
Dear list.
I have just been informed by one of the HR adminstering an SLA
contract for OH that the management will rather not have the OHNA note
in her report that verbal consent has been obtained reflected in the
report generated as a consequent of management referral.
According to HR stating that You have verbal consent to discuss
and/or advise management on the referral denotes a degree of partiality
in this case it denotes supporting employees.
I will appreciate other members view on this.What can be termed as best
practice?
(1)To state that "I have his/her verbal consent to discuss the case
with
you"
OR
(2) Not to make referrence to employee consent at all in the report
generated.
Thanks for your anticipated response
Patricia
