Pre-Employment Testing

Pre-employment medical tests are necessary to help create an environment and working conditions that enable the employees to give their best. Routine comprehensive annual health check-ups help identify and curb any possible ailments in the bud. Healthy employees result in lesser medical leaves resulting in better output.

Pre-Employment health check-ups and medical tests are necessary to cover occupational and safety hazards at workplace and to make sure that the selected candidate is fit for the job. In today’s age, it is customary for organizations to get the health check-up for employees done before their joining as well as on an annual basis.

For example, an asthmatic person working around harmful gases, a chef with typhoid in a restaurant, a colour blind person working at a clothing store, etc. 

Advantages of Pre-Employment Medical testing 

Safety at Workplace

The new candidate should be free from medical conditions that could result in harming other people (colleagues or customers), especially in health and safety sensitive jobs such as driving, piloting, working in automation etc.

Health Record Compilation

A Pre-employment health check-up establishes baseline health related data against which the future health status of an employee can be compared. It identifies existing medical conditions, including lifestyle and contagious diseases which could get adversely affected by occupational exposure.

Ascertain Productivity and Efficiency

These tests establish that the new employee is free from medical conditions which can affect his productivity post-employment. Companies understand the importance of a healthy employee as his health is going to be directly proportional to his productivity and efficacy towards work.

Cost to Company for Medical Reimbursement

Considering that medical treatment is getting costlier by the day, employee health is becoming a major concern for companies. Several companies provide full or partial coverage for medical expense to their employees. An employee who suffers from a long term illness which may require frequent hospitalisation and absenteeism from work may cost the employer a lot of money. Companies want to assess this before hiring the candidate.
