Unlocking Workforce Potential: La Vie's Functional Abilities Evaluation Services
Welcome to La Vie Executive Health Centre, where we prioritize the health and well-being of individuals on their journey to recovery. As part of our comprehensive suite of services, we take pride in offering Functional Abilities Evaluation (FAE) services, also known as Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCE). Designed to provide employers with objective insights into an employee's physical capabilities, our FAEs play a crucial role in facilitating the return to work process after injury or illness.
The Purpose of FAEs
La Vie’s Functional Abilities Evaluations are instrumental in employee assessments before they resume their duties following a period of injury or illness. Conducted by our team of experienced medical professionals, these evaluations meticulously quantify various factors that directly impact job performance:
Effort:
Our FAEs measure the level of effort an employee can exert, ensuring a realistic understanding of their work capabilities.
Strength:
Assessing physical strength is crucial in determining whether an employee can meet the demands of their job without compromising their health.
Muscular Endurance:
We evaluate the employee's ability to sustain physical activities over an extended period, providing valuable insights into their overall endurance.
Overall Conditioning:
Understanding an individual's overall physical condition is vital for crafting a tailored plan for their return to work.
Sustained Activity Tolerances:
FAEs assess how well an employee can tolerate sustained periods of activity, providing a comprehensive picture of their abilities.
Repetitive Working Tolerances:
The evaluation also addresses an employee's capacity to perform repetitive tasks, an essential factor in various job roles.
Employer Benefits
Employers often request FAEs to make informed decisions regarding an employee's return to work. These evaluations serve as a valuable tool in determining if job modifications are necessary during the recovery period. Furthermore, FAEs are used to substantiate or challenge an employee's benefit claim, ensuring that decisions are grounded in objective data.
Decisions on employee fitness require an objective understanding of restrictions that may impede their ability to resume work. La Vie's FAEs provide this critical information, identifying any necessary rehabilitation methods and actions that the employee must undertake before safely returning to their job.
La Vie's Approach to FAEs
At La Vie, we approach Functional Abilities Evaluations with the utmost courtesy and respect for the individual's unique circumstances, focusing on the specific injury or illness they are recovering from. Our reports provide a comprehensive overview, identifying whether the individual is functioning normally or facing legitimate physical barriers such as excessive pain or movement restrictions.
