Workplace injuries or medical conditions can significantly impact an employee’s ability to perform their role, posing challenges for employers and employees. At Hentys, we specialise in coordinating and managing Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs) to ensure businesses have the insights to make informed decisions about their workforce. These evaluations provide a comprehensive assessment of an employee’s physical capacity to safely perform the inherent requirements of their role, helping employers balance workplace safety with employee well-being and return to work obligations.
Our team collaborates closely with your business, independent assessors, and treating health professionals to streamline the FCE process. From coordinating assessments to ensuring legal compliance and supporting employee recovery, Hentys is your trusted partner in managing these critical evaluations. By prioritising safety and compliance, we help employers reduce the risk of workplace injury claims and facilitate a smooth, supported return-to-work process for employees.
Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs)
When employees are injured or have medical conditions that affect their ability to work, it is crucial to assess their capabilities accurately. Hentys coordinates and manages Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs) to help businesses determine an employee’s physical capacity to safely perform the inherent requirements of their role.
We work closely with your business, Independent Assessors and your employees Treating Health Professionals to:
- Coordinate FCEs: Assist you with organising assessments that evaluate the physical capabilities of injured or impaired employees.
- Preparation of Documents: Prepare all draft documents for the entire process, including letters of invitation to meetings, instructions and questions to Treating Health Practitioners, and scripts for management to follow in meetings with the injured worker.
- Ensure Legal Compliance: Ensuring that all assessments, documentation and assessment process meet legal and regulatory standards, including the fair process requirement.
- Support Employee Recovery: Help employers understand any necessary accommodations or adjustments to help employees safely return to work.
