Maintaining employee contact

"Out of sight, out of mind" is unfortunately often the reality with long-term illness. To break this, the new legislation (effective January 1, 2026) obliges employers to include a procedure for contacting sick employees in the employment regulations. The goal? Involvement, not control.

Pre-return-to-work consultation

Do you want to get long-term sick employees back on board without legal wrangling? The "pre-return-to-work visit" is often the best first step. From 2026, as an employer, you will also have the right to take this initiative yourself. It is the ideal way to constructively and informally look at what is possible, even during the illness period.

Collective reintegration policy

Reintegration is no longer a dossier you solve on a case-by-case basis. From January 1, 2026, the legislator obliges larger companies to develop a structural framework. Goal? Not reinventing the wheel every time a new employee falls ill, but proactively being ready with a plan and possibilities for adapted work.
This policy is more than a legal obligation; it is a strategic instrument to reduce absenteeism costs and retain talent. What should it contain and does this also apply to you as an employer?

We feel extremely well supported by Premed in the labyrinth of legislation relating to well-being at work.

My first contact with well-being at work was through the Prevention Advisor Level 3 training at Premed.

This course was particularly informative and gave me the necessary foundations to immediately put into practice. 
Shortly after, with Premed's support, I started working on our Annual Action Plan (AAP) and our five-year plan, which were entirely developed tailor-made for our company with their experts.

Since then, we have felt fantastically supported by Premed in the labyrinth of well-being at work legislation.

Their webinars are always relevant and, along with the numerous tools and brochures available in the customer area of the website, provide real added value in our daily prevention work.

Furthermore, Premed constantly keeps us informed of the latest developments via newsletters and timely reminders, so that we are always in perfect compliance with current legislation.
During their workplace visits, they indicated several areas for improvement that we have since addressed — with clear and noticeable results.
The quality of their services is excellent.
We consider Premed an accessible and proactive partner on whom we can always rely. 
Their team possesses a high level of expertise and knows perfectly how to translate it into practical and useful advice.

Their involvement and motivation truly make a difference.

3 September 2025
Winter is approaching, and that often means we prefer to keep the windows in the workplace closed to keep the cold out. However, this can pose a problem for indoor air quality. In closed spaces without sufficient ventilation, harmful substances accumulate faster, including the CO2 we exhale. Too high a concentration of CO2 can lead to fatigue, loss of concentration, and even health complaints such as headaches and dizziness.
