      My manager has recommended me for an Occupational Health Assessment.  She raised the issue sensitively and did not link it to performance concerns, it arose when we had a work night out that went wrong – my work bag was stolen from a bar and other bags were not, and for whatever reasons I was quite triggered by that.  I had very recently left my ex and initiated divorce when it happened.  She knows the headlines but not the details.

      She is divorced herself and reading between the lines it was a bad situation, so I know she ‘gets it’ and pretty sure she means well with the OHA.  I figure it first and foremost protects the company, but could protect me too as I can be clear I have asked for help and communicated appropriately to my employer.  And hopefully finding some reasonable adjustments at work.  However I don’t really know what to expect from it, and also I’m concerned as it will go on my permanent record and I don’t want it to reflect badly on me.  I know technically HR would say it doesn’t but then HR would say that – and I don’t want to be painted as unreliable or having performance issues.

      Does anyone else have experience of workplace OHA – what was your experience, positive/helpful, mixed, not positive etc?
