I have a member of staff who's been off sick since Christmas.
He has some named disabilities and we have made every reasonable adjustment he's asked for - glad to do it.
However, he is very reluctant to share health information. Appointment letters, for example, will usually have the purpose of the appointment blacked out.
In view of the current absence I have referred to OH. In their report they have referenced some conditions we know about but also repeatedly referred to an "underlying condtion" which meant he needed to shield, which he takes medication for, which will get progressively worse and may result in a need to reduce hours. But they don't say what it is and he won't tell us.
Does it matter? I don't suppose it makes any difference to us what the condition is called buy it seems off that he won't say, also that OH don't seem to have this info.
I just want to find a good way to manage this situation, for everyone, but he is holding cards very close to his chest and I can't get to the bottom of what he would see as a good solution. I'd be happy to reduce hours if that's what he needs.
