Description:
As the hiring market tightens and the labor pool of applicants decreases, the challenge of finding the right fit becomes more and more critical to the overall success of a company. You are only as successful as each employee you hire. An applicant’s background, training, certification, knowledge, understanding, and previous work experience can be all for naught if they are not physically capable of performing the essential functions of the job. Pre-employment functional screening is an essential tool in the new hire process to objectively establish a new hire’s capacity to perform all the essential physical requirements for any given position. Not only does it provide the employer with a qualified candidate, it mitigates the safety risk of hiring someone who is not capable of doing the job for which they have been hired. Fitness for Duty can also be a valuable resource in helping identify employees in your workforce who may struggle to meet the essential functions of the job or be returning to work from a prolonged time off or an injury not related to work.
During this presentation, our focus will be to:
· Establish what pre-employment functional screening and Fitness for Duty is
· Learn the underlying rules, regulations, and guidelines for employers
· See how functional testing and fitness for duty fits into the new hire and return to work process
· Review actual functional tests provided
