Did you know that up to 80% of injuries in the workplace are pre-existing when employed? People you employ with pre-existing conditions and injuries result in increases in insurance premiums, on-costs (sick leave or Workers Compensation and rehabilitation related) and ‘engine room’ down time, as well as unjustifiable pain and suffering to the injured employee.
We do not assume our service is going to be a fit for every company, as we are, for example, more expensive than most other providers, but we do have a long track record of very significant reductions in LTIs as a result of our screenings.
Specific, resolved recommendations: Suremploy performs the most thorough musculo-skeletal and functional assessment available, and delivers an accurate, reliable and clear report, which removes the ambiguity and risk in employment decisions.
Specific options for accommodating risk: We provide a list of objective measures that can be taken to ensure the risk of injury to an employee is eliminated or minimized. This allows for fully informed choice for or against recruitment of employees that carry a level of risk.
Medico-legal knowledge: Suremploy navigates the complex medico-legal issues of employee recruitment with a thorough understanding of, particularly, the relevant Anti-discrimination and Duty of Care laws, allowing the employer to avoid potentially devastating common law litigation.
Accurate history obtained: One of our greatest strengths is the ability to very accurately glean from the applicant any history of past musculo-skeletal injuries. This is crucial to our success, as previous back pain is the single most powerful predictor of future back injury, and something the majority of applicants do not divulge in these assessment circumstances.
Money back guarantee: We stand by our recommendations and provide a money back guarantee if any worker we have cleared sustains a lost time injury within 12 months of the assessment (excluding unforeseeable events such as slips, trips and falls).
Speed of service delivery: The total turnaround time from initial contact to completed assessment and reporting is one week maximum, with the average being much less (this obviously excludes cases where the applicant chooses not to attend within that timeframe).
Site-familiarisation visits at no added cost: We do not charge for the hours it takes us to familiarise ourselves with the individual workplace.
Productivity: Maximum productivity is achieved when an employee is placed in a job that is safe, challenging and achievable. Suremploy seeks to assist you with optimum employee placement.
Suremploy are experts in pre-employment assessment and that is our full focus. We are not rehabilitation providers, choosing instead to form strategic relationships with other expert services – we are able and willing to refer you to a trusted partner.
