Pre-employment screening is undertaken by many companies to ensure that a candidate's health and fitness meet the demands and risks of the job. The process will give you the confidence to make a judgment on whether a prospective employee is fit to work in your organisation. It is good practice as recruiting the wrong person can be costly both financially and in terms of disruption to your business. The process identifies current health conditions, then manages them efficiently to reduce employee absence by encouraging healthy lifestyles. The screening is also used to establish a baseline health condition against any future health claims.
