Stuck with a pre-employment screening that has now grown with your business?
Author: Dr David Brentnall
In today’s competitive job market, hiring the right employees is critical to the success of any business. Making a poor hiring decision can be costly, leading to decreased productivity, workplace injuries, and even legal issues. To mitigate these risks, many companies implement pre-employment screening as part of their hiring process.
Axis have been providing pre-employment screening in Australia for over 20 years and here is what has been learned from experience.
Co-designing Pre-Employment Screening.
Pre-employment screening, also known as pre-employment medicals, or pre-employment functional assessments play a crucial role employing the right person for the job. Pre-employment screening will typically include a functional assessment which evaluates lifting and postural tolerance capacity of the candidate matched to the inherent requirements of the job. Axis is one of Australia’s largest pre-employment providers and beyond the functional testing offers customisation to include: drug and alcohol testing, audiometry, vision testing, fitness and health checks. When considering the right pre-employment tool, it is important to co-designed inclusions and exclusions to support appropriate hiring decisions without unnecessarily excluding capable candidates.
