What is Post-Offer Employment Testing?

While your employment candidates may seem qualified on paper, WorkSTEPS Pre-Employment Post-Offer Functional Employment Testing is designed and administered to help you determine if a candidate is capable of safely performing the essential functions of the job they’ve been offered.

Implementing Post-Offer Functional Employment Testing Will:

• Decrease work-related injuries
• Lower workers’ compensation costs—by 50% on average during the first year of implementation
• Reduce turnover
• Increase productivity by hiring elite workers, ready to contribute
• Decrease healthcare costs
• Lower accident rates
• Less disruption to production when skilled workers become disabled
• Less disruption to production when skilled workers become disabled

Potential Cost Savings of Post-Offer Employment Testing:

On average, one in fourteen assessments result in a "not capable" determination, saving potential employers on average an estimated $38,000, for each such determination. Post-Offer Employment Testing with WorkSTEPS gives employers confidence that they've reduced the chance of injuries and improved workplace safety.

“10% of Americans have limitations in the kind of work they can safely perform.“

Additional Pre-Employment Functional Screenings

If an employer determines that they do not require a test as comprehensive as the WorkSTEPS pre-employment post-offer screening, WorkSTEPS has the ability to work with an employer to customize the testing process to deliver only those measurements and recommendations that an employer needs. We also have the ability to add additional measurements to a comprehensive pre-employment post-offer test. Additional WorkSTEPS screenings include:

Upper quadrant / Carpal Tunnel

The Upper Quadrant/Carpal Tunnel Testing is used to determine capability relative to repetitive job function, rather than heavy material handling tasks. This test may be used independently, as part of the comprehensive Pre-Employment Post-Offer Employment testing, or as a component to the Injured Worker Fit-for-Duty test if necessary.

Vision and Hearing Screenings

WorkSTEPS offers hearing screenings, as well as color-blindness and visual acuity screenings as an optional add-on to the pre-employment post-offer functional assessment. The screenings are not diagnostic, and result in a normal/abnormal recommendation, at which point the candidate can be referred for additional medical clearance by a physician specialist.
