Fitness-for-Work, Fitness-for-Duty, and Pre-Employment Evaluations
Our team provides rigorous neuropsychological and psychological evaluations to assess an individual’s capacity to perform essential job duties safely and effectively. We offer evaluations for both Fitness-for-Work (FFW), Fitness-for-Duty (FFD), and Pre-Employment purposes, supporting employers, attorneys, and organizations who need objective, evidence-based information regarding workplace functioning. Evaluations may focus on mental health factors alone, cognitive factors alone, or both, depending on the context and requirements.
What We Evaluate
Cognitive and Functional Capacity
We assess attention, memory, executive functioning, problem-solving, and other cognitive abilities critical for job performance. These evaluations help determine whether cognitive factors may affect work tasks or overall safety.
Psychological and Mental Health Assessment
Standardized psychological testing evaluates mood, stress tolerance, emotional regulation, and behavioral patterns that can impact work performance or workplace safety.
Return-to-Work Evaluations
We provide assessments for employees returning to work after injury, illness, or mental health leave, helping employers determine readiness to resume duties safely and effectively.
Pre-Employment and Safety-Sensitive Screening
Our evaluations can be used for pre-employment screening, particularly for safety-sensitive roles, ensuring candidates have the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral capacity to perform essential job functions.
Fitness-for-Work vs. Fitness-for-Duty
FFW: Broader assessments of general work readiness, accommodations, and ongoing employee performance.
FFD: Formal evaluations focused on safety-sensitive or legally regulated roles, ensuring employees can safely perform specific duties without risk to themselves, coworkers, or the public.
Functional Impact Analysis
We document how cognitive, psychological, or behavioral factors influence real-world job performance, providing clear, actionable findings for employment decisions.
