Physical Pre-employments

RECOVERY PARTNERS: THE WELLBEING EXPERTS
Physical Pre-Employments determine fitness for duties
Our physical pre-employments are an important facet of the employment application process. We offer these physical pre-employment assessments to help you identify if an applicant can perform the inherent requirements of the job, to identify risks, and to determine if risks can be reduced. As such pre-employment screening is an effective workforce risk management tool supporting your team’s ability to perform a job safely and effectively.
Whatever the industry, the health and wellbeing of your staff is essential and is key to optimising company productivity.
The benefits of conducting pre-employment assessments include:
- A safer working environment,
- Reduction in workplace injuries,
- Minimised downtime,
- Reduction in workers compensation claims and insurance costs, and
- Reduced overall recruitment cost and risk reduction.
Recovery Partners deliver a more effective service to clients by aligning our biomechanical experts to assessment regimes specific to organisational contexts. We offer additional benefits via direct cost savings by reducing medical practitioner engagements, shorter service timeframes, and greater flexibility in assessment and reporting requirements.

Our Assessors take each candidate through a set regime of activities to enable an ability to clearly quantify the capacity to safely perform the known job demands.
