PRE-EMPLOYMENT PHYSICAL AGILITY TESTING:
Does a prospective employee possess the necessary functional capabilities to preform the demands of the desired job? Workers Choice Health Services therapists can assist in hiring the right employees for safe job performance through the administration of preplacement work screenings. Through comprehensive job analysis, therapists assist in the determination of the essential functions of each job and design short evaluations to assess an applicant's ability to meet these demands. Tests can be conducted at a Workers Choice Health Services clinic or on-site at the place of employment. Reports are furnished to employers. Tests comply with the guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
