Introduction to Fit-for-Duty Testing 05:22 Obviously, every job has different requirements. Whether a job calls for an advanced physics degree, proficiency in welding and fabrication, or the ability to regularly lift 45 pounds, companies must determine if a person is a good fit for employment. This is often done through fit-for-duty testing, also known as employee testing. In these courses, we’ll cover what these tests entail. In this program, we’ll talk about the basics of fit-for-duty analysis, including when and how the tests are administered, and why they’re essential.
Mental Fit-for-Duty Testing 05:54 Every employer’s goal is to have a capable workforce - a team that can meet the physical and mental demands of the work, driving the whole organization toward success. There are many ways leadership goes about selecting and keeping the best suited people in the right jobs. In this course, we’re going to focus on mental assessments or evaluations. These tests are what employers use to make decisions about whether a candidate is the right fit cognitively for a position, or to create a return-to-work plan for employees who’ve been off work for an incident or illness.
Physical Fit-for-Duty Testing 05:25 Being asked to participate in physical testing for a job or to return to work after an illness or injury can feel intimidating.
