What is WorkSTEPS^®?

WorkSTEPS^® is a suite of functional employment screening and functional capacity evaluation tools. Its goal is to improve the hiring decision process by standardizing the screening for the physical demands of specific jobs. By comparing a prospective employee's results to other benchmarks (i.e. employer-provided data, and from a nationwide databank), employers improve hiring decisions, and in turn reduce costs associated with workplace injuries. The WorkSTEPS^® program includes:

Job site assessment
Pre- and Post-employment job screening
Ergonomic evaluations and training
Fit for Duty evaluations
Functional capacity evaluations
