Less absence. Stronger return. Better people processes.
I help organisations reduce long-term sickness absence, improve reintegration outcomes and build scalable people processes that protect employees and business performance alike.
Root-causediagnosis first, not policy
Earlyintervention that shortens absence
Sustainablesolutions managers can run
Trusted by HR leaders, occupational health teams and managers across the Netherlands & beyond.
Practical implementation, not another policy document
Long-term absence is rarely a paperwork problem. It sits where health, management capability and process meet — and only improves when all three are addressed together.
I combine occupational health case management, organisational change and process improvement to find the real drivers of absence, strengthen accountability across the business, and put solutions in place that managers can actually run.
Root-cause diagnosis before any intervention
Accountability across leaders, HR and managers
Sustainable solutions your team can run without me
Look at the data and the day-to-day reality — where absence concentrates, where cases stall, and which gaps drive it.
02
Design the operating model
Clear roles, decision points and workflows across HR, OH and managers — with the reporting to see what's happening.
03
Build manager capability
Managers are coached to intervene early, run reintegration well and handle the difficult conversations.
04
Embed and measure
Solutions are handed over to run without me, with reporting that keeps performance visible over time.

Meet Keshia
A specialist who joins up health, change and process
I help organisations reduce long-term absence, improve reintegration outcomes and build scalable people processes that support employees and business performance alike.
Combining case management, organisational change and process improvement, I work with leaders, HR teams and managers to find root causes, strengthen accountability and put sustainable solutions in place — focused on early intervention and practical implementation, not policy alone.
Absence improves when health, management and process are fixed together — not when another policy is written.

Who I work with
Built for the people who own the outcome
Different roles, one shared goal: less absence and a workforce that's supported.
Leaders
Executives carrying the cost and risk of long-term absence who need a credible, measurable way to bring it down.
HR teams
People functions that need scalable case management, governance and reporting rather than firefighting every case.
Managers
Line managers who are accountable for absence and reintegration but were never equipped to handle it well.
Common questions
Good to know before we talk
Do you replace our HR team or occupational health provider?
No — I strengthen what you already have. I work alongside your HR function, OH provider and managers, improving the governance, processes and capability around them so they deliver better outcomes.
How quickly will we see results?
Earlier intervention and clearer ownership tend to show within the first cycle of cases. Structural reductions in long-term absence build over the following months as the new approach embeds and the reporting makes progress visible.
Do you work with organisations of any size?
Yes. The approach scales from smaller organisations without dedicated absence governance up to large employers with complex case loads — what stays constant is the focus on root cause, early intervention and sustainable solutions.
Do you work remotely or on-site?
Both. Much of the diagnostic and design work happens remotely, with on-site time where it adds value — particularly for manager training and stakeholder alignment. I'm based in the Netherlands and work internationally.
