Organizations are increasingly using pre-work screen processes to verify that prospective hires have the physical ability to perform the job. Mr. Bossen and Mr. Lee will identify the issues you should be aware of when considering, designing, testing and implementing a pre-work screen and/or a return-to-work screen process. Case studies will demonstrate the importance of understanding the legal risks, and illustrate real-world positive outcomes and consequences. You’ll leave with a working knowledge of the screening process and how to consider implementing one within your organization.
