What if every return
to work started well?
Wundo helps managers prepare, practise and follow up absence and return-to-work conversations. From the first sick note to full return to work.
Rising sickness rates. More legislation.
More and more legislation determines who has to call and when. But that legislation doesn't determine whether the conversation actually goes well.
Take the step towards guided contact moments.
The key isn't in the legislation, but in the conversation the manager has.
The need is there.
Every mandatory moment calls for a different kind of conversation, and managers often don't know what they can and can't ask.
From sick note to return to work.
Every mandatory contact moment is prepared, practised and followed up. Every conversation is an opportunity for positive impact.
On time, with the right framework right away
As the legal week-4 moment approaches, Wundo has the right framework ready: what you can ask, what you can't, and when the occupational physician needs to be informed.
Practise the week-4 phone call first
The phone call around absence or return to work is often a challenging contact moment. The manager practises it with a realistic scenario and gets feedback before the real conversation happens.
Steven is in week 4 of his absence; time for the first phone contact.
- Warm and concrete, without probing
- Announcing the right next step
"I don't feel ready to get back to work yet."
Recorded what counts, never what's private
Wundo automatically records what's functional: date, who, channel, agreements, next step. Guidelines make sure a diagnosis or medical details are never included.
I've turned the notes into a report. Date, channel and next step are recorded; no medical details.
Open report in WundoAt a glance: where is this employee in their track?
Wundo shows, per employee, which legal contact moments have already happened and which are still coming up (week 4, week 8, month 6), so no one falls through the cracks between two dates.
Everything to stay compliant
HR sees, aggregated and anonymised, how many contact moments took place and whether they happened on time. Proof that the track was followed.

Anonymous feedback from managers who use Wundo to better prepare and follow up their team conversations.
NPS 60+As an HRBP, I see team leads really getting going with Wundo. I don’t always hear from them any more, but the quality has clearly improved.
Practising with Wundo was great, especially for conversations where I don’t feel comfortable.
Even though I know the theory from earlier training, my conversation with you was really focused and refreshing.
Wundo doesn’t let it go, either. It checked in two weeks later to ask how things were going.
I was glad I had prepared for the meeting with Wundo. Otherwise I’d have forgotten things.
I already have a lot of coaching experience. Wundo mainly helps me gain insight into how to start or follow up a conversation.
You’re a strong sparring partner who doesn’t just go along with my story, but also holds up a mirror.
You helped me enormously to put an objective picture into words for my colleagues.
Without preparing, I’d have dived straight into operational details.
I’m amazed at how valuable this exercise was.
I now avoid mistakes, like filling in the blanks for others.
I get feedback that feels motivating and empathetic.

Still have questions about absence & return to work with Wundo?
What pain points does Wundo solve in absence and return-to-work conversations?
Wundo solves where absence and return-to-work policy gets stuck: conversations that happen too late or ad hoc, managers who don't know what they can and can't ask, and no visibility for HR into the status. Preparing, practising and following up becomes easier, so every legal contact moment happens on time and goes well. That directly affects return-to-work success and demonstrable compliance.
How much can this be tailored to our organisation?
Fully: the framework, the guardrails and the timelines are tailored to your organisation. A library of practice conversations can also be provided, covering the challenges that often come up in absence and return-to-work conversations.
Does the AI take over the conversation, or does the manager stay in control?
The manager has the conversation, Wundo supports: with preparing, practising and formulating. Wundo never takes over the conversation and never makes a medical judgement. The occupational physician's advice and the manager's conversation stay separate; the decision always lies with the human.
Do I need to use Wundo's notetaker to get good support from Wundo?
No. Wundo has a built-in notetaker, but using it isn't required. With the notetaker, Wundo gives feedback on the conversation itself; without it, support still stands through the framework and earlier conversations. The notetaker is a plus, not a requirement.
Does Wundo replace our occupational physician or prevention service?
No. Wundo is the practice and follow-up partner before or after their advice, not a replacement for it. The occupational physician and prevention service remain the owners of the medical and preventive side.
What about medical questions?
Wundo provides the necessary guardrails so medical data is never included. What's more, users get tips on what they can and can't ask.
Can Wundo evolve with the legislation?
Yes. Timelines and guardrails are configurable.
Which tools does Wundo integrate with?
Wundo works directly in Teams and Slack, with no separate tool or login, and integrates with the Outlook calendar.
