Fit For Duty Testing
• Reduce re-injury.
• Keep workers safe.
Return-to-work fit for duty testing.
Employees returning to work are significantly more likely to experience a subsequent injury than a worker who is not currently injured. WorkSTEPS’ Return-To-Work Fit For Duty programming helps employers be confident that employees can return to the job safely and are physically capable of safely performing the essential functions of the position. If an employee cannot yet safely return to the job, this testing can aid in crafting employer policy in respect to potential actions like modified duty, returning to a different job temporarily, and/or undergoing additional rehabilitation. WorkSTEPS aids employers in determining policies and proper processes for returning employees back to work safely.
Accurately assess the true physical demands of your jobs with measured and quantified Job Task Analysis.
WorkSTEPS’ Job Task Analysis allows for employers to consistently make informed and legally-compliant decisions about hiring new employees, moving existing employees into new jobs, and returning injured employees safely back to work.
Making such decisions based on functional job analysis data that accurately reflects the actual requirements of a job gives you a competitive edge, because you can:
- Attract employees more likely to be a good fit for the job.
- Reduce turnover.
- Decrease work-related injuries.
- Lower workers’ compensation costs.
- Quickly return injured workers back to the job.
- Avoid disruptions to production that occur when skilled employees become disabled.
When the physical demands of your jobs change, WorkSTEPS is there to assess how those changes potentially impact the validity of your test criteria and update the test criteria to reflect those changes in real time with a PAVE™ subscription.
Employers can be confident that trained and certified job analysts will accurately assess the physical requirements of the jobs, develop test criteria that ensures candidates and employees are able to safely perform their jobs, and are supported by the most legally-compliant validation program on the market through PAVE™.
Accurate and reliable job task analysis.
Job analysis requires precision to accurately quantify the various demands of a given job. Our Job Analysis team collects, analyzes, and interprets data on various factors of the job including ergonomic, physical, environmental, and more. Our rigorous and scientific process ensures the demands of your positions are accurately identified and quantified so you can find the right employee for the position.
Job analysis usually requires the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data surrounding the role in question.
This may require:
- Identifying the duties of an employee in the position.
- Monitoring the duration of each task.
- Observing the employee at work.
- Interviewing the employee and managers about the requirements of the position.
- Comparing the position to other jobs within the same job classification.
Once the data has been analyzed, we can help work with you to develop a clear picture of the physical demands of the job. This will help you determine what qualifications are required of your candidates.
