What does a occupational health practice assistant (POB) from ZekerArbo do?

The indispensable link alongside the company physician

At ZekerArbo , we make every effort to help you quickly and effectively. The Practice Support Physician (POB) plays a crucial role in this. This professional works closely with the company doctor and makes sure everything runs smoothly. As a result, the company doctor has more time for things that require his or her expertise as well as for prevention. Sounds good, right?

What does the occupational health practice assistant do?

Dhe POB person helps you gather information about how your employee is doing within the framework of the AVG. He or she conducts interviews and gives advice on work possibilities and obstacles based on these interviews. So they take over partial tasks from the company doctor, but don't worry: the company doctor always remains ultimately responsible. And the POB? He ensures that everything continues to run smoothly.

What exactly does the office assistant do?

Here are a few examples of the tasks the POB officer takes on:

• Absenteeism Guidance
• Preventive consultation
• Workplace visits or consultations on site or through teams

Absenteeism Guidance

When an absenteeism report comes in, the POB worker is often the first to act. They will have a conversation with your employee and, if possible, immediately make arrangements to return to work. Will recovery take longer? Then they call in the company doctor, but the POB remains involved and keeps an eye on things.

Preventive consultation

Every employee can also contact the POB-er with questions about work, health and workload. With the employee's consent, the POB-er conducts the interview, but the company doctor always remains informed and keeps control of the counseling.

Workplace visits and consultation

Sometimes more is needed than a conversation. In that case, the POB worker visits the workplace to help think about absence prevention. For example, by consulting with supervisors or HR.

Always access to the company doctor

The POB is not a replacement for the company doctor, but rather a smart complement. The cooperation ensures that we can help you even better. Would you still prefer an appointment with the company doctor? No problem, that's always possible. The phone number can be found in our correspondence, so feel free to contact our client team.

Privacy and diligence

Health data is sensitive, and we at ZekerArbo know that all too well. That's why POB officers, like all our professionals, handle this data very carefully and adhere to all privacy rules.

In short: the occupational health physician practice support person is your extra pair of hands so that you and your employee are helped as quickly and well as possible!
