HR PEOPLE — HAS THIS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU?

A new hire starts in a physically demanding role. Within weeks, they’re injured, struggling, or gone.

And in hindsight, the signs were there. The role had real physical demands. The screening process didn’t.

We hear this story more than you’d think.

Workers’ comp claims. Team burnout from picking up the slack. Re-recruitment costs. The quiet culture damage that follows.

It doesn’t have to go that way.

Pre-placement functional screening — done properly, before day one — gives HR teams the information they need to place people right, support them from the start, and protect the whole team.

The Fit4Work Systems Screening App makes that process simple, consistent, and defensible.

But we want to hear from you: have you experienced the downstream impact of a placement that didn’t work out physically? What did it cost your organisation — in time, money, or team morale?
