Fitness-to-Work Testing
Many jobs require employees to be able to perform work tasks that are critical to their role (otherwise known as bona fide occupational requirements, or BFOR’s for short). These work tasks may include lifting, carrying, crouching, bending, reaching, and long periods of time spent moving without rest. Despite how common these job-related activities are, employers often overlook the importance of evaluating these activities and comparing them against a job candidate’s physical capabilities. That’s where Fitness-to-Work testing comes in.
We work with companies to complete physical demands analyses based on the bona fide occupational requirements observed for specific job roles. Next, we evaluate an individual’s physical capabilities as they pertain to the specific role. Finally, we provide detailed recommendations to hire based on the testing results.
