Return-to-Work Physical Capability Assessment

Employees returning from extended absences due to medical reasons pose unique challenges for businesses. Our Return-to-Work Physical Capability Assessment ensures they're fit to resume duties without risking re-injury.

WHY RETURN-TO-WORK ASSESSMENTS MATTER

Every year, employees across the country experience injuries that force them to miss work. That missed time and productivity is a major expense for employers, and the fear of reinjury is real for both employees and their managers. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are particularly troublesome.

DataFit partners with businesses to evaluate their injured workers’ ability to safely perform the essential functions of the job. Businesses benefit from the knowledge that previously injured workers can return to peak performance without increased chance of reinjury. Meanwhile, employees can return to work knowing the company cares about their well-being and safety.
