Pre-employment Medical and Physical Functional Screening-1

Understanding whether a prospective new employee is medically and physically able to manage the demands of a particular role is an extremely valuable part of the recruitment process and form the basis of front-line risk management.

Proactive can work with you to understand the demands risks of the role, and the typical candidate you need to fill the role to develop a bespoke medical and/or physical functional screening.  All candidates for the role pass through the screening, with each having a personalised report delivered to your team detailing their physical ability to manage the tasks.

Benefits of Pre-employment Screening Assessments

The benefits of Pre-employment Screening Assessments include:

  • Insight into an employee’s physical capacity to safely meet the functional demands of a job before they start work.
  • Record baseline health status for each employee at commencement so pre-existing health conditions are identified and not attributed to your workplace.
  • Identify any medical or health problems that may impact on the prospective employees’ ability to carry out their job safely before they start work.
  • Identify previously undetected health or medical issues which may, with suggested management strategies, improve long term health outcomes for individuals and organisations.
  • Address specific physical or health concerns relative to an organisation’s work environment.
  • Ensure that prospective employees are free from drug and alcohol use prior to starting the role

Proactive’s pre-employment screens have saved organisations money through reduced lost time injuries, and boosted productivity through having the right candidate selected for the right job.
