Early Signs and Rehabilitation E-learning

The employer's responsibility for rehabilitation rests with you whether or not your managers have been trained for it, and Swedish law sets out what it means (AFS 2023:2). Much of that work happens before anyone goes on sick leave, and that's where it gets missed: the signs are there, but nobody acts until a sick note lands on a desk. This course gives managers a way to spot early signs, act in time and lead rehabilitation with confidence.


From the course:

  • The employer's responsibility for rehabilitation under Swedish law (AFS 2023:2)
  • The healthy organisation: preventing ill health before it leads to sick leave
  • The health conversation: how to prepare, hold and follow up an early check-in
  • Rehabilitation with sick leave: the sick pay period, sick notes and the Social Insurance Agency
  • Key concepts explained: rehabilitation, work adaptation and change in working capacity

After the course:

  • Managers act on early signs of ill health instead of waiting for a sick note
  • Health conversations get prepared, held and followed up, not postponed
  • Everyone with staff responsibility uses the same terms for rehabilitation and work adaptation
  • Managers know how the sick pay period, sick notes and the Social Insurance Agency fit together

The course consists of six sections of short videos, reflection cards, interactive exercises and a downloadable exercise on health factors, taking 60 minutes. Henrik Lidmar, a registered nurse with extensive experience in occupational health services, answers the questions managers ask most often on video. The course ends with a knowledge test and a diploma when the participant passes.

Suits you who need to equip managers with staff responsibility, and safety representatives involved in rehabilitation work.
