WorkSTEPS

WorkSTEPS is the leading provider of functional employment testing in the nation, and was founded to meet a critical employer need – to create a medically safe, legally compliant, scientific and objective means of matching a worker’s functional capabilities with the essential functions of the job. Our suite of services includes post-offer pre-employment testing, as well as post-employment testing which includes fit-for-duty testing, functional capacity evaluations and sincerity-of-effort testing.
