What is “occupational health”?
Occupational health, rooted in law, aims to prevent work-related illnesses and accidents. For knowledge workers, the primary work ability risk is burnout, and our approach focuses on early detection of signals indicating declining work ability.
Our mission extends beyond individual well-being to enhance the overall functioning of the work community by actively collaborating with employers. Your dedicated occupational health team—comprising a specialist, nurse, psychologist, and physiotherapist—is committed to managing all aspects related to your work ability.
Whether addressing legal occupational health matters or preventing and handling challenges like burnout, we’re here for you. In situations where work ability is at risk, your occupational health team ensures a supportive process from assessment and discussions to planning and coordination for your return to work after sick leave.
Part II: What services are included in our occupational health plan?

In addition to mandatory services, your employer provides extensive healthcare services. This means that…
- If you fall ill or have concerns about your well-being or health, you can contact HelttiLine and HelttiChat.
- At HelttiLine and HelttiChat, you can reach our nurses directly.
- If your situation requires a remote or live appointment, your occupational health services also include appointments with a nurse and/or doctor.
Healthcare in Heltti
At Heltti, healthcare always begins with remote care, and up to 80% of issues are resolved during the first contact.
Heltti professionals, whenever possible, remotely diagnose, provide additional instructions and health advice, and issue electronic prescriptions.

Ergonomic Consultations
Do you have concerns or challenges related to ergonomics?
Please contact your occupational health nurse by logging into MyHeltti and leaving a message in the Occupational Health Messaging Channel. Your occupational health nurse will respond and, if necessary, guide you to a work physiotherapist.
The work physiotherapist is either present or available remotely for annual ergonomic consultations at your workplace. During ergonomic consultations, the work physiotherapist provides tips, such as adjusting the workstation and incorporating breaks into the work routine. It’s also possible to receive personalized guidance at your own workstation during ergonomic consultations. As remote work is prevalent nowadays, the work physiotherapist also offers various tips for ergonomic work in a home office.
