What the paper says

Our study reveals that OPs' aim at restricting discussions on employees' health and respect their autonomy in disclosing health information in RTW negotiations, yet their approach to confidentiality seems complex and situationally flexible. Confidentiality issues compete with other incentives and complicate the collaboration, thus careful attention, ethical considerations, and clearer guidance from policymakers are required. The demanding nature of planning and leading RTW negotiations calls for systematic education of interaction skills in OPs' specialist training. Further research is needed to explore the strategies and meaning-making related to confidentiality in multistakeholder RTW collaboration.
