The Gowan Approach

What sets Gowan Consulting apart is our sustainable, holistic approach – we help employees to be more productive with workplace health solutions that consider each employee as an individual and how they perform in the workplace and environment.

We do this by taking the time to understand the employee’s challenges and the work they do within the context of the business. We will provide you with systemic strategies and customized solutions that allow your business to thrive because your employees will thrive.

Our experts in ergonomics, disability management and occupational therapy will design effective long-term solutions for stay-at work and return-to-work plans, disability management, and accessibility planning.

“That’s our reputation in business – we have the passion to do the right thing to support employee success.”

Gowan’s Proven Process for Success

First we determine the barriers that are keeping people from doing their work.

We use a functional model rather than a medical model to design a solution that focuses on the help the person needs to do the job.

Gowan Consulting’s consultants really try to understand and make sure the person does well instead of just presenting cookie cutter solutions for a quick fix.

We’ll work closely with the employee, manager, union and all workplace stakeholders to give you the most sustainable and cost-effective solutions.

Gowan Consulting is a trusted partner in sustainable workplace healthy, safety, disability and productivity management for hundreds of companies across Canada.

We know what our partners in human resources, disability management, and health and safety need to ensure their employees have a safe, healthy and productive work environment.

Our team is ready to share our expertise and practical knowledge, in French and English, and in every province in Canada, so that you will be prepared to make informed decisions in every situation; from advice to pay and fitness for work, claims, absenteeism, presenteeism, and mental health, to timely sustainable  stay-at-work and return-to-work planning.

Gowan Consulting is constantly evolving to provide workplace solutions that reflect the individual culture and needs of our clients’ diverse workplaces  in a rapidly shifting  marketplace. Our  educational programs give clients the opportunity to stay current so they can more effectively manage their disability and health and safety programs.
