Sometimes the causes of absenteeism, behavioral change or reduced work performance are not immediately clear. An employee reports sick with vague complaints, or suddenly shows loss of concentration, memory problems, or emotional reactions that do not fit their normal behavior. This may indicate a neurological or neuropsychological background - for example after brain injury, infection, or a neurological disorder.
A neuropsychological study maps this out. It provides clear diagnostic clarity about cognitive functioning, behavior and emotions, and - crucially - insight into someone's real resilience. This is essential for case managers and company doctors to make responsible decisions about returning to work, workplace adaptation, or reintegration processes. The research focuses not only on diagnosis, but on practical insight: what can this person really handle?

Finalization and benefits
A neuropsychological examination gives you certainty as a case manager or company doctor: which neurological or neuropsychological factors play a role? What are the actual cognitive and emotional limitations? And what can this person really handle, both in terms of load capacity and recovery potential?
This allows you to make responsible decisions about returning to work. You can use workplace adaptations where necessary, or set realistic expectations about recovery processes. For the employee, it means diagnosis and recognition - not being in the dark about what is going on anymore. This provides clarity for them and their loved ones, and forms the basis for targeted support. It also prevents unfounded or premature resumption of work, which prevents relapse and worsening.
