Our digital Pre-Placement Assessments, also known as Health Screening Assessments, should be considered an essential part of your employee onboarding process.
These assessments help ensure that new employees are physically and mentally fit to carry out the requirements of their new job without posing a risk to themselves or others. They can also be used for existing employees who may be changing roles or working locations.
Our biopsychosocial model
At UKIM, we provide comprehensive Pre-Placement Assessments that cover a range of health and wellbeing factors, including;
- Physical fitness
- Mental health
- Current/ongoing medical conditions.
- Social factors
This is known as a biopsychosocial model. The goal is to identify any potential health issues that may impact your new employee's ability to perform their job role, and to ensure that they receive the necessary advice and support to do so. Pre-Placement Screenings provide valuable information, helping you to make informed decisions about your new staff and any support and adjustments that can be considered to ensure you create a safe and healthy working environment for all your employees, and remain compliant with appropriate legislation including The Equality Act 2010.
How Pre-Placement Assessments can benefit your business:
- They provide a baseline assessment for each employee
- You ensure a prospective employee is medically suited to their role
- They identify if a prospective employee’s health is likely to be put at risk
- You can monitor changes to an employee’s health and wellbeing over time
- They ensure Health and Safety legislation is taken into account and met
- You can make any necessary adjustments for vulnerable or disabled employees
We highly recommend that your business considers implementing Pre-Placement Assessments as part of your employee onboarding process. At UKIM, we have the expertise and experience to deliver these assessments effectively, and we are committed to helping your business promote good employee health and wellbeing.
