Why are Pre-Employment Functional Assessments important?

Pre-Employment Functional Assessments are important because they help to reduce risk and ensure a safe work environment. They allow employers to better evaluate a candidate’s capabilities and determine if they are capable of performing the duties associated with any given job. The assessments also provide baseline data for tracking an employee's capacity over time, as well as identifying potential health risks associated with a particular job and providing employers with the opportunity to develop custom ergonomic solutions that reduce or eliminate these risks.
Are Pre-Employment Functional Assessments relevant to employees who are returning to work after sustaining an injury?

Yes, Pre-Employment Functional Assessments relevant can help employers evaluate post-injury employees for any changes in their ability to perform essential job functions. This can provide important insight when determining eligibility for return-to-work and the necessary accommodations needed for successful reintegration into the workplace.

What Are Pre-Employment Functional Assessments?

Pre-Employment Functional Assessments involve tests that measure a candidate’s physical and cognitive abilities to ensure they can perform essential job functions. The assessments are typically conducted by a qualified healthcare professional who evaluates the individual’s level of functioning in areas such as strength, range of motion, coordination, visual acuity and other relevant skills related to the requirements of a specific position.

Using these assessments, employers can better assess a candidate’s capabilities and determine if they can perform the duties associated with any given job. Pre-Functional Assessments may also help employers minimise risks by ensuring that employees are fit to do their jobs safely and efficiently, as well as identify potential health risks associated with a particular job.
