How does a workplace assessment or workplace consultancy process work?

A programme usually begins with a discussion about your work, your working environment and any symptoms you may have. We then look at what adjustments or advice might help you work more comfortably and sustainably.

Occupational therapy for workplace advice

Occupational therapy for workplace advice focuses on healthy, comfortable and sustainable working by optimally tailoring your workplace, working posture and working methods to your situation.

During an initial assessment, for example, we look at:

how your workplace is currently organised;
what your working day looks like and where the strain arises;
your work attitude whilst carrying out various tasks;
the alternation between sitting, standing, moving and recovering;
options for adapting or reorganising your workplace or working methods.

Depending on your situation, our support may consist of workplace optimisation, ergonomic advice, coaching on posture and behaviour at work, advice on assistive devices or practical adjustments that fit in with your work and daily life.

Occupational therapy for workplace advice may be appropriate if you:

experiences symptoms in the neck, shoulders, back, arms or wrists during or after work;
spends a lot of time working at a computer screen;
works from home or regularly switches between different workplaces;
find that your workplace is not well suited to your duties;
you want to prevent complaints before they arise;
are recovering from symptoms or an injury and your want to customise your workspace;
is seeking a better balance between tax and capacity whilst working;
want to explore how you can continue to carry out your work in a sustainable and comfortable way.

An appointment with the occupational therapist begins with a discussion about your work, your working environment and what you need to be able to work comfortably and healthily. In doing so, we look not only at your workplace, but above all at how you work, move and experience your working day.

Depending on your situation, we analyse how your work is carried out and which factors influence your performance whilst working. This may involve looking at your working posture, movement, variety throughout the day, recovery periods, work organisation or the layout of your workplace. If necessary, we will assess your workplace either on-site or via video call, so that our advice is directly tailored to your day-to-day practice.

In any case, you can count on:

practical advice tailored to your work;
focus on posture, movement and physical capacity;
advice on ergonomics and workplace optimisation;
practical solutions that can be applied in practice;
collaboration with other healthcare providers at Rondom where this adds value.

Staying healthy and working comfortably sometimes requires more than just a well-designed workplace. That is why our occupational therapists work alongside other healthcare professionals at Rondom where necessary.

Depending on your situation, this could, for example, be a physiotherapist, lifestyle coach, psychologist, podiatrist or another practitioner. Together, we’ll look at how physical strain, energy levels, recovery and daily activities influence one another, so that the support we provide is tailored to your work and your daily life.

Occupational therapy is often covered by basic health insurance. The level of cover you are entitled to depends on your circumstances and your health insurance policy.
