COURSE DESCRIPTION

The talent pool is tight these days in many industries – but even in a competitive hiring environment, companies need to be thorough with their process of choosing the right employees.

Many employer make job offers based on only a background check or drug screen, but we recommend a third component – a comprehensive Post Offer Physical, including a Physical Abilities Testing protocol that is ADA compliant. Employers need to protect themselves by doing all they legally can to determine if an applicant can safely perform the physical demands of a job.
