Dr Lipson will be speaking this Monday, November 23rd from 1:00 – 2:30 pm EST via a Live Webinar on Fitness for Duty Psychological Evaluations for Lorman. You can get more information on the webinar on the Lorman site.
This live webinar is designed for human resource and benefits managers, operations managers, business owners and managers, insurance professionals and attorneys.
The Overview for this webinar in part addresses that businesses in the public and private sector are often unaware of how to set both the parameters and the stage for a fitness for duty evaluations. Frequently, Employment Assistant Programs (EAPS) are asked to determine whether or not someone should remain at work. …Sometimes what is needed is a workplace violence evaluation instead of a fitness for duty evaluation. The urgency in workplace violence assessments and the determination of whether to call first responders are not issues in fitness for duty evaluations.
Dr. Lipson will be discussing both the pitfalls and benefits of using fitness for duty evaluations; as well as the credentials of individuals who should be conducting these evaluations for an organization. The separations between medical and mental health issues as well as the key figures who should be involved will be explored.
