Creating an action plan to help your employee return to work

It is important that you help your employee return to work in a way that suits their specific needs and circumstances. This is why you and your employee will be required to create an action plan together. In this plan, you will both record the agreements you make concerning what your employee needs to do to return to work, and the support they will receive during this process. Both of you will also share your thoughts on these agreements in the plan.

How to create an action plan

To create the action plan, you and your employee must fill out the Action plan form. Use the evaluation (‘probleemanalyse’) by the occupational health physician (‘bedrijfsarts’) or the occupational health and safety service (‘arbodienst’) when doing this. Make sure you do this within 2 weeks of the evaluation being carried out. You and your employee will need to make an action plan in week 8 of their illness.

What you will need when completing the form

  • the evaluation carried out by the occupational health physician or the occupational health and safety service
  • your employee’s personal details, including name, address and citizen service number ('BSN')
  • your payroll tax number (‘loonheffingennummer’)

Progress meetings

You and your employee will be required to meet at least once every 6 weeks to see how their return-to-work process is going. If the action plan needs adjusting, you can update it and record any new agreements in the First-year evaluation form (‘eerstejaarsevaluatie’).
