Pre-employment assessment
Pre-employment assessment is a common activity among employers in the UK. In certain instances it is mandatory as part of health surveillance. However, evidence for its effectiveness in determining fitness and predicting good service is limited. This is further complicated by anti-discrimination legislation which outlaws unfair discrimination against job applicants with disabilities. How then does one manage the conflicting requirements of risk reduction and legal compliance in hiring?
We believe we have the answer. We can help analyse your workplace environment and job demands, and develop clear medical criteria for employment. Using this information we design appropriate pre-employment screening questionnaires and examinations, driven by your own requirements and circumstances. Our approach is function-based rather than medical and aims to simplify rather than complicate.
This approach helps to
- eliminate unnecessary and wasteful tests
- eliminate unlawful discrimination
- ensure medical fitness for the job and
- ensure legal compliance
while providing useful information for employers
