Hi Steve
Forgive me if this is your own carefully thought out question but "corporate" is one of those buzzwords that can mean all sorts of different things to different people and businesses. If you or the client are wanting to ask this question, then they need to have a clear understanding of what "corporate" means to you or them or you could get a whole variety of answers - all equally good and equally way off the mark.
It might be a lot clearer to ask about business impact of OH, financial benefits of a good OH Service, how the candidate would expect themselves or their service to work within the specific business environment, etc and tease out how they understand what the clients key business drivers are and how they are able to affect them. Asking about Corporate OH is a bit like asking about organic veg. We all think we know what we mean by it but if you talk to the experts, they regard the term as almost meaningless as it means so many different things.
Sorry if this has put the cat amongst the pigeons.

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Understanding of Corporate OH
Good Morning
I need some help in preparing candidates for an interview in regards to the question....
"what is your understanding of corporate occupational health" - and this is probably in the context of a comparison to NHS / Public Sector
I have some ideas but wondered if there are any OHA's who have worked in both arenas who are able to offer me some guidance.
Please reply to me at [log in to unmask]
Thanks
