Management Referrals: Getting it right from the start. Thinking about making an occupational health referral for work related stress?

Before you do, it’s important to take a structured approach. One of the most common issues we see is referrals being made without understanding the root cause or being clear on the purpose.

A good starting point should include:

✔ Conducting a stress risk assessment
This helps identify what in the workplace may be contributing to the issue, rather than focusing only on the individual.

✔ Being clear on your objective

Ask yourself:
• What do we want to understand from this referral?
• What decisions do we need support with?
• What outcome are we hoping for?

When done properly, referrals lead to better outcomes for both the employee and the organisation.

Workplace stress isn’t just a wellbeing issue—it’s one of the leading causes of work-related ill health.

According to HSE data, stress, depression and anxiety account for a significant proportion of sickness absence across the UK workforce.
But beyond the statistics, this shows up in organisations as:

• Increased absence
• Reduced productivity
• Higher staff turnover
• Employees struggling to cope day-to-day

For employers, the challenge is often not recognising the issue—but knowing when and how to act. Too often, support comes at the point where someone is already at crisis stage.

Given that April is Stress Awareness Month, it’s a good time to reflect:

👉 Are we spotting the early signs of stress?
👉 Are we acting early enough to prevent long-term impact?
Getting this right doesn’t just support employees—it protects the long-term health of your organisation.

Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of attending and exhibiting at the CIPD Northern Ireland Annual Conference 2026 at Titanic Belfast — and what a fantastic day it was. We were also proud to have the opportunity to sponsor one of the conference sessions.

Organised by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, the event brought together HR and people professionals from across Northern Ireland to share ideas, insights and best practice around the future of work.

It was a brilliant opportunity to meet so many passionate professionals, make new connections and have some great conversations throughout the day. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat with us.

📸 Here’s a little throwback to a fantastic day!

🔊 Noise at Work – Protecting Your Hearing

Exposure to high noise levels in the workplace can lead to permanent hearing damage if not properly managed. Employers have a responsibility to assess noise risks and protect employees’ hearing.

Occupational Health support can include:
✔ Hearing assessments
✔ Workplace noise monitoring
✔ Health surveillance programmes
✔ Advice on hearing protection

At Health Matters Occupational Health, we help businesses protect their teams and stay compliant with workplace safety regulations.

Do you know when Health Surveillance becomes essential in your workplace?

Health surveillance should be introduced when:

⚠️ Employees are exposed to hazardous substances or workplace risks
🔄 There is a clear potential for illness or adverse health effects
🧪 Reliable testing methods are available to detect early signs of harm

Putting the right monitoring in place not only helps protect your employees, it also ensures your organisation meets its legal responsibilities.

At Health Matters Occupational Health, we design and deliver tailored health surveillance programmes to suit your industry, workforce and risk profile, helping you stay compliant while prioritising employee wellbeing.
