3 Action Steps to Return Employees Back to Work Without Delay
October 23, 2019How To Hire the Applicants That Can Physically Do the Job
November 20, 2019If you are working as a Therapist, it doesn’t mean that you need to be tied down to a medical clinic every day. It wasn’t that long ago when Therapists largely stayed in their practice, clinic, or hospital. But the industry has changed, and there are limitless opportunities if you want to offer your services in a different location – with the same or a different focus.
Evolution of Therapy Services
Previously, patients who required therapy services would go to the medical clinic where the Therapist was located. Now, the industry is shifting, and more therapy services are brought to the patients – wherever they may be. This approach is more dynamic than ever before, making it easy to provide care in unique ways.
This transformation is due in part to Therapists reaching out to Employers and Businesses who, in turn, have chosen to provide Employee health care services on site. Having a Therapist being able to office at the work place can be an invaluable resource for everyone. On-Site Therapists operate as educators for prevention as well as treating therapists at time of injury. For the Employer, it protects the safety of their Employees and reduces the risk of workplace injury. It also decreases lost time for getting to and from appointments.
Employees have an expert on-site not only to treat their therapeutic needs, but also to discuss exercise and health issues, allowing the Employees to further enable themselves in both personal and work health and wellness. In addition to that, your knowledge and caring approach brings their family members to you for treatment.
On-Site Therapy – You Choose the Site!!!
One of the greatest benefits is the flexibility of being able to get out of the hospital or medical clinic and take your job wherever you want it to be… your clients’ homes, in to businesses, in to fitness centers. You choose the patients and clients – and you choose the sites! Where do you WANT to work??
These services include both prevention and treatment. For an Employer, this includes Pre-Hire Assessments (formally known as Pre-Employment Assessments) and Return-To-Work assessments after injury (Functional Capacity Assessments) or illness (Family & Medical Leave Assessments). Each of these evaluate how an Applicant’s or Employee’s physical capabilities match up with the job duties. This proactive approach prevents the individual from being assigned to job duties they are not physically capable of doing safely.
