Aon Consulting has launched a specialist healthcare management service to that will offer employers advice on both internal and external occupational health services.
The initiative was launched in response to the burden on employers to improve employee wellbeing and integrate areas such as absence management, long-term disability and medical insurance into an occupational health strategy.
Charlotte Bray, occupational health consultant, will play a major role in developing the new service. She previously worked for Mercer and is a qualified nurse.
Alex Bennett, head of healthcare at Aon Consulting, said: "This is an exciting development for Aon and an extremely valuable service for our clients. Our approach provides unique value to the market in that we can truly offer an integrated approach to healthcare management."
