Sainsbury’s landscape
• 161k employees• 1200 stores, 22 logistics
centres, 3 support centres and 1 bank
• Presence in Asia• Conservative cost of
absence in the £m’s – including presenteesim & medical dismissal costs
• MSD’s, mental health and chronic conditions main reasons for absence

Def. of case management - a generic term, with no single definition
……is a collaborativecollaborative process which: assesses, plans, implements, co-assesses, plans, implements, co-ordinates, monitors and evaluatesordinates, monitors and evaluates the options and services required to meet an individuals healthhealth ……… and employmentemployment needs… (CMSUK, 2014)
•Can be sector, condition or service specific• Insurance – reduction or mitigation of claim costs• Legal – defence/prosecution• NHS – preventing hospital admission• Rehabilitation eg life changing injuries
•In workplace terms, generally means a referral for occupational health opinion on fitness for work.–Managed by occupational health professionals who may/may not seek other medical/health professional opinions

Over past decade, so six trends have emerged
5
1. F2F remote2. Paper records electronic3. OHP’s OH Managers/non-health manager4. In-house out-house5. Medical labels functional capability6. “secret” “full disclosure” of records
So, how does a large retailer like Sainsbury’s manage case management?
6
Our approach•Occupational health team
– Service hub in Manchester – 3 OHA’s , 3 admin (and 7 Safety Direct team)– 5 field based OH & Wellbeing partners
•Remote case management – c. 4000 referrals/pa•Referral at week 6 of absence but maybe longer•Average case duration c. < 75 days
– Dependant on medical reports required– C. 60% return to substantive role +/- temp or permanent adjustments• Support resources•Contracted Occ Physician & access to a network of OP’s•EAP•Physiotherapy in logistic sites

We use a 7 R’s principles & approach
Step 1 : RReview and RRight messages
Step 2 : RRTW
Step 3 : RRehabilitation
Step 4 : RReasonable Adjustments
Step 5 : RRe-deployment
Step 6 : RRe-training
Step 7 : RReaching an employment decision
In summary……
•Success of case management depends upon:– The OH delivery model – Organisational model of people management,
including robust policies– Supporting interventions available i.e physio, EAP– Specialist resource available with right skill set– Number of non clinical flags – yellow, blue, black (Kendall
& Burton, 2009)
– And ultimately employees desire to return to work
•However, case management is ‘horses for courses’ and ‘one size does not fit all’
