Increasingly, companies are conducting pre-employment medicals for all employees, including those with mainly desk duties. This ensures that you protect both your company and your employees by making sure that they have the right support to do the job and that they are in a state of health that is suitable for the demands of the role they will be engaged in.
If an employee has a history of back pain, for example, knowledge of this will help the company support them prior to beginning employment rather than risk their condition worsening.
It is advisable to ensure that you are aware of:
- Any pre-existing medical conditions that will affect your employees ability to work.
- Any medical condition that will require additional support or equipment.
- Any musculoskeletal difficulties that will require specific equipment or seating arrangements.
- Any substance abuse issues (which can be tested with drugs and alcohol screening).

- A tailored medical for your company based on your budget
