To meet the critical need of employers for medically safe, legally compliant and defensible, scientific and objective means of matching a worker’s functional capabilities with the essential functions of the job, WorkSTEPS has developed procedures and processes that include:
- Job analysis / Worksite assessment
- Functional employment testing
- Continued educational training
WorkSTEPS establishes functional testing as a foundation for hiring, fit-for-duty, and return-to-work programs. WorkSTEPS significantly reduces incidence and costs related to work injuries by:
- Appropriately matching employees to the essential functions of their jobs
- Expediting safe, early return to work
- Supplying objective, individualized data that results in case resolution for disputed/fraudulent workers’ compensation cases
