Occupational Health Management (OHM)

With Occupational Health Management (OHM), SWICA's objective is to minimise absenteeism and presenteeism, reinforce potential health factors, and improve the general wellbeing of employees. OHM combines all the measures aimed at preventing or reducing absences due to illness or accident. It ideally complements group healthcare insurance and accident insurance.

OHM covers the following areas


Prevention management

Prevention management includes all measures for boosting health, safety and wellbeing at work and preventing absences.

Care management

A care manager will look after insured persons who are sick or have had an accident until they are permanently reintegrated into work.

Performance management

If an employee is absent because of illness or accident, SWICA's performance managers will handle the case.

OHM – this is how our specialists operate

Based on your input, our specialists will develop an individual OHM concept that is tailored to your needs. This process breaks down into four overlapping components.
  1. Analysis: A reliable database is assembled based on business analysis, online assessments and SWICA appraisals.
  2. Development: Measures for sustained success (e.g. the development of an approach to absence and presence management) are defined.
  3. Implementation: Prevention and reintegration measures are put in place.
  4. Controlling: A critical look at what has been achieved and a comparison with the previously defined key figures round out the SWICA approach.


SWICA also provides advice on the Gesundheitsförderung Schweiz public health organisation’s Friendly Workspace offerings.
