Our labour experts are experts in the field of employability issues from the angle of: how does the burden of someone’s job relate to the employee’s load capacity. Based on their specialism, they provide objective clarification of questions such as: what are the possibilities for employability and which restrictions must be taken into account?

This investigation can offer a solution when the reintegration into the employee’s own work or adapted work at the employer is stagnating or when it is unclear which possibilities the employee still has in his own work.
There are two types of workplace assessments: basic and extensive.
The basic workplace test is intended to help with workplace settings. This especially concerns employees who, for example, use a monitored workplace. The occupational health and ergonomic aspects of the workplace and the working environment are assessed by an occupational health expert, in combination with the employee’s job profile and work capacity, with the aim of advising on the possibilities of adapting the workplace to achieve an optimal work posture.
An extensive workplace assessment involves a thorough examination of several factors and a broader and more specific look at the workplace. You can think of:
