Have you heard of post-employment evaluations?
- These evaluations are typically medical assessments conducted after employment has begun.
- They may include drug screening and physical agility testing, tailored to the specific requirements of the job.
- The nature and process of these evaluations can vary significantly depending on the jurisdiction in which they are implemented.
Why Conduct Post-Employment Evaluations?
The primary objective of post-employment evaluations is to:
- Reduce medical and injury claims, leading to decreased costs
- Increase in workplace safety.
By ensuring that employees are physically capable of performing their job duties, employers can foster a safer and more productive work environment.
To effectively carry out a post-employment evaluation, several critical components must be in place:
1.Written Policy: A clear, written policy stating that an evaluation of physical function is required for the job. This policy ensures that all parties are aware of the expectations and requirements from the outset.
2. Compliance with Human Rights: The evaluation process must respect the human rights of the individual undergoing the assessment. It is crucial to ensure that the evaluation does not discriminate against or unfairly target any employee.
3. Effective Communication: Open lines of communication between all roles involved—managers, employees, employers, and unions—are essential. This collaboration ensures transparency and facilitates a smoother evaluation process.
4. Documentation of Medical Information: A detailed description of the medical information that will be documented, such as blood tests, must be provided. This transparency helps in building trust and ensures that all parties are informed about the evaluation process.
5. Job Demands Analysis: Conducting a job demands analysis is often required to determine the physical demands of the job. This analysis helps identify the specific areas that need to be assessed during the evaluation.
