-The time-consuming aspect of the intervention i.e. PSI-WPI often took more time than care-as-usual, involves more meetings with the employee and the first-line manager and always involves the first-line manager

-Juggling split roles i.e. working as an RC and as a health care professional and sometimes seeing the employee in both roles

-Not having sufficient support from the PHC
