Discover solutions to workplace health challenges with Mazars and LIME Medicolegal.

Do you have burning questions about managing health-related challenges in the workplace? Mazars in Australia and LIME Medicolegal are here to help!

On Thursday, 15 June, Mazars co-hosted an event with LIME Medicolegal on “Managing excessive leave and health issues in the workplace”. Dr Angus Forbes, a Medicolegal Occupational and Environmental Physician, and Cheryl-Anne Laird, Partner at Mazars, with the assistance of Michelle Safely, General Manager of LIME Medicolegal as the moderator, delivered an engaging Q&A session providing invaluable insights from both the workplace (HR/IR) and medical perspectives. The dynamic discussion between our panel and audience tackled challenges such as remote work requests, psychosocial code of practice, and what level of detail an employer can ask about an employee’s medical condition.

If you missed it, here are some of our key takeaways:

  • Balancing employee well-being with employer obligations can be difficult but must be done
  • Employers must understand the role of reasonable adjustments and when they might be appropriate in the workplace
  • Understanding the regulatory obligations of health-related decisions is key to compliance
  • To get the most out of an IME, you need to ask the right questions
