Hello Catherine Perhaps I am being cynical but I smell a rat! HR appear to be naïve in expecting him to attend. This man was dismissed rather than resigning of his own accord. Furthermore, this happened some weeks ago. Unless the ex-employee considers that he has a work related condition I can see no reason why he should have any interest in attending. Perhaps this move has resulted from HR anticipating a future claim against them. As the OH practitioner I would feel very uncomfortable being the person contacting him to attend for an exit assessment. He could interpret it as you being in the pocket of HR. In the unlikely event of him attending then you may find it a difficult experience, particularly so if you initiate the appointment. I would bat it back to HR and suggest that they contact him asking rather than you being involved.
