Post-Offer Employment Testing (POET) for Safer Hiring
Ensure the right fit for physically demanding roles with Post-Offer Employment Testing (POET). This legally compliant screening process evaluates a candidate’s ability to safely perform the physical demands of a job after a conditional offer has been made. Conducted by qualified professionals such as registered kinesiologists or registered physiotherapists and occupational therapists, POET helps reduce workplace injuries, lower turnover, and improve overall job placement accuracy.
Our post-offer testing services are tailored to you’re the specific physical demands of the job, based on a validated Job Demands Analysis (JDA)/Physical Demands Analysis (PDA). Each assessment measures strength, mobility, flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, and functional movement—all aligned with the essential functions of the job.
Benefits of Post-Offer Employment Testing:
- Reduce risk of work-related injuries
- Lower workers’ compensation claims and costs
- Improve hiring decisions and job matching
- Support compliance with ADA and EEOC guidelines
- Establish a baseline for future return-to-work evaluations
Our POET process is objective, standardized, and fully documented to support HR, health and safety, and legal teams. It promotes a healthier, more productive workforce—starting on day one.
Hire smarter. Work safer.

Functional Abilities Evaluation (FAE) for Safe Return to Work and Disability Management
A Functional Abilities Evaluation (FAE) is a comprehensive, objective assessment used to determine an individual’s physical capabilities in relation to the demands of work. Conducted by qualified professionals such as registered kinesiologists, physiotherapists, or occupational therapists, an FAE plays a critical role in guiding return-to-work planning, injury recovery, and disability case management.
Our FAEs evaluate strength, endurance, mobility, flexibility, posture tolerance, and task-specific abilities, using evidence-based protocols and standardized testing procedures. The results help employers, insurers, and healthcare providers make informed decisions about an individual’s readiness for work or need for accommodation.
Benefits of a Functional Abilities Evaluation:
- Identify safe work capacities and limitations
- Support return-to-work planning and modified duties
- Provide objective documentation for insurance and legal purposes
- Help prevent re-injury through appropriate job matching
- Ensure compliance with workplace health and safety standards
We can complete a general FAE or a job specific FAE which compares the employee’s abilities to the physical demands of the job based on a Job Demands Analysis (JDA). Detailed reports include clinical findings, functional observations, and clear recommendations to support evidence-based decision-making.
Make confident, informed decisions.
Book a Functional Abilities Evaluation with our experienced team to support safe recovery, effective workplace reintegration, and optimal outcomes for all stakeholders.
