Pre Employment Testing

A pre-employment functional capacity evaluation, or musculoskeletal assessment) provides comprehensive information relating to a potential employee’s physical strength and cardiovascular fitness to understand if they can perform the tasks required within a job role.

A potential employee’s ability to effectively meet specific job requirements is fundamental in ensuring their health and wellbeing, as well as optimal productivity levels for an employer.

Used in conjunction with an employment medical assessment, a pre employment assessment can assist in the appropriate selection of new employees. The information gathered is valuable in assessing higher risk employees where issues such as BMI, previous injury and degenerative factors may be present, or when the job role is considered medium or above in physical demand.

A pre employment assessment can also provide you with objective information regarding an employee’s capacity for work, and assist with matching a worker to a suitable task or roles.
