With an aging, increasingly overweight and deconditioned workforce, are you concerned about hiring employees who are fit to perform work safely? Are you also concerned about the decline of fitness level and health of some of your current employees? Your concerns are not unfounded. According to the BLS, up to 45.4 percent of injuries occur in the first year of the job and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and obesity-related illnesses are epidemic among our existing workforce. But there is a solution to this problem! Right here in South Louisiana there is a national organization that specializes in ADA- and EEOC-compliant fitness for duty (FFD) testing. In fact, WorkSaver Systems, founded by Dr. Richard Bunch, PhD, PT, CBES and co-owned with business partner, Trevor Bardarson, PT, OCS, CBES, has garnered national recognition for being a leader in employee FFD testing.
WorkSaver FFD evaluators conduct not only detailed physical examinations of employees, but also work-simulated functional tests to ensure that an employee has the physical abilities to safely perform essential job functions. There is no other organization in the nation with more experience in ADA-compliant FFD testing. With more than 50+ years of combined experience in FFD testing, Dr. Bunch and Mr. Bardarson have been accepted as experts in FFD testing in federal, state, and administrative courts. “We’re very well known nationally among industries for our quality of service, effectiveness, and legal compliance to all labor anti-discrimination laws.” said Dr. Bunch.
“The big benefits to our clients include not only significant injury reduction but improved job performance, reduced turnover, and greater employee retention.” said Dr. Bunch. No other entity in the country conducts nation-wide FFD testing with the quality controls for which WorkSaver is nationally renowned. WorkSaver’s unique team of QA nurses review every FFD test for compliance and stands ready 24/7 to assist WorkSaver clients and clinics.
So, worried about FFD testing compliance with ADA? ADEA? FMLA? GINA? HIPAA? Title VII? Union CBAs? No problem, WorkSaver and its retained labor attorney team have that completely worked out for its clients. “Return on investments using WorkSaver FFD testing range from 8-to-1 to 13-to-1! This program is an investment that pays for itself many times over.” said Dr. Bunch.
