Post-Offer Employment Testing
Grow your business with an effective tool in the war to eliminate unnecessary compensation claims and costs!
Post-Offer Employment Testing (POET; informally known as Post-Offer, Pre-Placement Testing) is an important clinical service-bridge to employers as an injury prevention service and a generator of clinical referrals. While more closely tying you to employers, establishing a Post-Offer program capitalizes on your investment in Job Analysis, Ergonomic Evaluation, and Functional Capacity Evaluation. Post-Offer Testing is an effective tool for evaluating a potential employees’ ability to handle exertion-demanding tasks!

This practical course builds on a review of current EEOC interpretation of ADA case law and a job analysis practicum to culminate in the draft and validation of a Post-Offer test. Materials provided to participants include a full set of job analysis and Post-Offer testing data collection forms.
In keeping with the Matheson philosophy of developing the “Thinking Evaluator,” this course is particularly important for the practitioner who has relied upon a home grown or commercial Post-Offer “system” but who has not investigated in detail the efficacy of the system.
The course practicum will use digital video case studies to follow the cycle of job analysis, physical demand cut-point determination, determination of essential and marginal functions, test development, applicant medical history, consent for evaluation, test administration and reporting. Course participants may use the Matheson Post-Offer Software during the practicum.
