Job Demands Analysis
| Job Demands Analysis is performed by specially trained physical and occupational therapists to analyze the physical requirements of performing a job in order to write a functional job description, create a post-offer screening or restricted duty program. |
Would a Job Demands Analysis make sense for my company?
-
Yes, if you have one or more of the following qualifications:
- Your company hires too many people who cannot physically do the job for which they were hired
- Many employees are injured on the job within the first few months of starting work
- Your company is frustrated with job descriptions that do not adequately describe the work tasks
- Your company would like to test people post-job-offer to determine whether they can physically do the job
- Your company has higher worker's compensation costs because you are unable to safely place injured workers in restricted duty assisgnments
- Your company is self-insured and is spending too much money on physical therapy bills
