Aligning Abilities with Job Requirements
Functional Job Descriptions
WorkSaver stands at the forefront of ensuring job functions align with the capabilities of your workforce through our expertly developed physical demand validation (PDV) and functional job descriptions (FJD).
By observing and meticulously analyzing job roles through ergonomic specialist-led PDVs, we craft precise FJDs that guide informed decision-making in employee placement, accommodations, and comprehensive safety protocols. These processes, rooted in data from on-site evaluations and consultation with subject matter experts, establish a solid legal foundation for fitness for duty testing and advance strategies for a safer, more efficient, and compliant organizational structure.
How Our Approach to PDV & FJD Sets Us Apart
Customized Assessments
We conduct thorough onsite PDV to accurately quantify the physical demands of specific job roles within your organization. This process involves detailed analysis and measurement of tasks such as lifting, carrying, bending, and other critical movements.
Objective Measurement
Our PDV process utilizes validated protocols and tools to objectively measure the physical requirements of each job. This ensures consistency and reliability in our assessments, supporting fair and equitable evaluations for all employees.
Development of Functional Job Descriptions
Based on PDV findings, we create tailored FJDs that outline the essential physical and biomechanical demands of each position. These descriptions serve as a benchmark for assessing employee fitness for duty.
Alignment with ADA & EEOC Guidelines
Our FJDs are developed in strict compliance with ADA and EEOC regulations to prevent discriminatory practices based on gender, age, or disability. This commitment ensures that all employees are evaluated based on job-related criteria essential for safe and effective performance.
Integration with Fitness for Duty Testing
FJDs form the foundation of our fitness for duty testing (FFD) services, guiding the evaluation process to determine an employee’s ability to meet job requirements safely. This integration enhances the accuracy and relevance of our assessments.
Client Collaboration
We collaborate closely with clients to understand their unique organizational needs and job-specific requirements. This partnership allows us to tailor PDV and FJD processes to align with your business goals and operational objectives.
Continuous Improvement
WorkSaver is committed to continuous improvement in PDV and FJD methodologies. We regularly update our protocols to incorporate industry best practices and technological advancements, ensuring our services remain at the forefront of occupational health and safety.
