"Back to Work" is Oh My People’s return-to-work program for employees returning after a long-term absence. We support their return with a personalized action plan, ensuring that both the employee and the organization are ready for a sustainable return to work.

  • In good times and bad

    As a company, you don’t just support your employees when they’re achieving results. More than 75 percent of employees choose an employer who shares their values and standards, even when things aren’t going so well. When your colleagues are on the verge of breaking down, Oh My People springs into action. Coaching, career guidance, wellbeing policy, and return to work support. We tackle every challenge with the right solution.

  • Being sick is not a choice

    For most employees who report sick, the absence is short-term, and they return to work quickly. But for some, illness leads to a longer absence. Research by Securex based on absence data recorded in 2022 shows that 42 percent of employees who are absent for more than a month due to illness do not return to work with the same employer within the year. Experts agree that the longer the sick leave lasts, the less likely it is that employees will successfully return to their original employer. Employees also appear to be seeking support after a long-term absence. To meet this need for support, Oh My People developed the return-to-work program.

  • The Return-to-Work Process

    During the return-to-work process, Oh My People supports your employees through a personalized action plan while also providing them with tools to prepare for their return to work. When your employee is ready—and only then—we work with them to make the transition back to the workplace. And we ensure an optimal return to work: partial, gradual, or full, tailored to their needs.

  • What often gets in the way of a smooth return

    • “People expected me to be back to my old self from day one, but I wasn’t ready yet.”
    • “No one checked in over time to see if I was still managing; my job responsibilities weren’t adjusted.”
    • “I didn’t like the job anymore. I didn’t belong there.”
    • “I was still very ashamed of my outbursts.”
    • “My coworkers and manager didn’t trust me.”
