Pre-employment medicals designed by professions for your specific business needs.
Pre-employment medicals offer several benefits to both employers and employees. Investing in a pre-employment medical for a potential staff member ensures you are investing in someone whose health won’t hold them back from achieving the most for your business.
Key reasons for performing pre-employment medicals for your team.
- Promote a Healthy Workforce: Pre-employment medicals help ensure that prospective employees are in good health and physically capable of performing the job duties.
- Reduce Absenteeism and Turnover: Identifying any underlying health issues during pre-employment medicals can prevent individuals from taking up a job they are physically unfit for.
- Enhance Workplace Safety: Certain roles may involve physical demands, hazardous environments, or the operation of heavy machinery. Pre-employment medicals can assess an individual’s physical ability, strength, and coordination, ensuring they can safely perform their duties without jeopardising their own safety or the safety of others.
- Decrease Workers’ Compensation Claims: When employees have pre-existing health conditions that are exacerbated by their job duties, it can lead to workers’ compensation claims. By identifying and addressing potential health risks before hiring, employers can minimise the chances of such claims and the associated costs.
- Support Compliance with Legal Requirements: In some jurisdictions, certain industries, or specific job roles, may require mandatory pre-employment medicals to comply with health and safety regulations. Conducting these medical examinations ensures that employers meet legal requirements and avoid potential penalties or legal liabilities.
- Improve Employee Well-being: Pre-employment medicals can contribute to an overall culture of employee well-being and demonstrate an employer’s commitment to the health and safety of its workforce.
- Identify Health Risks Early: Pre-employment medicals often include checks for blood pressure, cholesterol levels, diabetes, vision, hearing, and other relevant screenings. Detecting health issues early allows employees to seek appropriate medical care and take necessary precautions, potentially preventing the condition from worsening or becoming more costly to treat in the future.
