Job Task Analysis (JTA):
A job task analysis (JTA) is the bible for any role within a business. Supported by a position description, a comprehensive JTA should enable businesses to recruit employees who have the tools and strategies to deal with all aspects encompassing a role. At PACE Health Management we believe that our JTA framework provides a thorough yet succinct overview of a specific role backed by internationally recognised research. We have had our framework independently evaluated by key professionals within the health sector to ensure its validity and application to real world scenarios.
With new Worksafe Psychological regulations soon to come into effect in Victoria, we have been building a psychosocial framework within our Job Task Analysis to enable employers to appropriately identify and support employees. This framework has been built in consultation with both organisational and clinical Psychologists and is endorsed by them as an appropriate assessment tool.
Our vision is to assist organisations identify key physical and psychosocial areas within each role in order to provide suitable support for their employees.
Pre-employment Functional Screenings (PEFS):
Pre-employment Functional Screenings (PEFs) assist workplaces find suitable candidates that can fulfill workplace demands. We deliver PEFs to organisations around Australia however, each PEFs for each business is different as each role is different.
We believe that a blanket approach is floored and does not appropriately measure an applicant’s capacity for a specific role. Rather, we create individual screening protocols for each and every role within a business to ensure both the organisation and the applicant receive the highest possible data.
Specific Function Testing (SFT):
Our Specific Function Test (SFT) uses the Workhab protocols to measure and analyse an employee’s current capacity to meet specific demands of a role. An SFT can also be used to assess and analyse the capacity of an injured worker and can provide both the employee and the organisation key information to ensure a smooth return to work plan.
Functional Capacity Evaluation:
More in-dept than an SFT, a Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) provides a capacity profile of an individual’s functional capabilities and limitations. It is utilised by referring organisations to correlate current measured capacity with the demands of suitable alternate vocational options, a return to their current or previous option or as a measure of rehabilitation progression.
PACE uses Workhab International Protocols and software to complete all Functional Capacity Evaluations. Workhab International has been a recognised industry leader in this field for the past 10 years. WorkHab’s FCE System has been validated in peer reviews, has been independently tested and shown to be significantly reliable.
